Family chore chart

Add everyone's name and you get one page per person with the same chores, so the whole family's week lives on one fridge. Each person can have their own theme.

    Running chores for the whole family

    The trick with a family chart is fairness that everyone can see. One page per person, the same chores on each, pinned side by side, settles most arguments before they start.

    Same chores, different ages

    Choose chores that everyone can do in their own way. Setting the table is a job for a four-year-old (forks and spoons) and a fourteen-year-old (everything) alike. Where a chore really doesn't suit a younger child, add it after you've printed, or make that child's page separately with the toddler chart.

    A theme for each person

    Once you add a second name, a theme menu appears next to each one. Let each child pick. A dinosaur page next to a unicorn page next to a teen page looks like a family, and the different artwork makes each child's page easy to spot from across the room.

    Rotating jobs

    If chores rotate week to week, print the charts without names and write names in the title line each Sunday. Or keep a fixed list per person for a month before swapping; younger children do better with jobs they can get good at.

    Rewards for the family, not the individual

    Many families find a shared reward works better than competing: if every page is full on Sunday, the family picks Saturday's outing. It stops the chart becoming a scoreboard and gets older children helping younger ones finish.

    Where it lives

    Fridge, pantry door, the wall by the back door. Put the pages in a row in age order so each child knows which is theirs. A quick look at bedtime, with the child holding the pen, is all the ceremony it needs.
