Need just a simple and easy chore chart? Follow the instructions to creating your very own!
Method 1 of 2: One Child Chart
1create a calendar but with 8 columns. In the first column list the chores the child is asked to do on a daily basis.Ad
2In the last 7 columns (on the first row) write the days of the week
3When the child completes the chore on a certain day, he or she gets a check mark. For example if your child makes up his or her bed on Tuesday, place a check mark under Tuesday in the make up bed row. That way at the end of the week you can see how often they are working.
Method 2 of 2: Multiple Children Chart
1Do the above chart but each kid gets a different color check mark. For example if Sue has the purple check and Bill has the blue check. When either of them completes their chores, they get a check in their own color.
2Alternatively, you could make each kid their own chart with their chores
3Instead of listing the days, list the kids' names. That way when they complete a specific chore, someone can check it off.Ad
- If you have more than one kid, try doing either separate charts or different colors on one chart. That way you can monitor how often kids are doing their chores every day rather than one week at a time.
- Be creative! It will really help and they will understand!
