Chore Chart

Okay...my kids HATE doing chores, but they love getting paid! To try to make it more fun, I made this chart:

I have three kids, ages 6, 10 and almost 12. They roll a die and the one who rolls the highest number gets to choose their chore first. The rules are: they have to pick one chore from each column. There are 2 chores that must be done once a week, and one chore that needs to be completed daily.


I made the sign from posterboard and used my Cricut to cut out the words. Scrapbook paper is the backing for each chore, which is held on using velcro.


We made the mistake of hanging it on the door next to the washing machine, so it has a bit of Spray and Wash on it also!


Since my kids can't seem to remember how to complete each chore, I decided to write out explicit instructions. We no longer have to point out each thing they need to redo with each chore, or hear "I don't know what to do!" It is written down. This works, since they are all readers. I will laminate them and keep each sheet in the cleaning bucket, or possibly next to this chart.
