Chores stick when the list is short, visible and the same every week. These eight printable chore charts cover a household from the two-year-old who can put toys in a box to the teenager who should be doing their own laundry, plus a chart for sharing the work between adults. The picture charts use the same eight everyday chores (bed, teeth, toys, plate, laundry, pet, homework, reading) drawn as simple icons so a child who cannot read yet can follow them. All charts have a name line and a reward or allowance line, and print on A4 or US Letter.

Teaching tips and common mistakes
How many chores, at what age
The fastest way to kill a chore chart is to put too much on it. A useful rule is one or two chores per year of age up to about ten, all of them things the child can already do without help.
- Ages 2 to 4: the toddler chart. Four chores, done together, with the sticker placed by the child. "Help set the table" means carrying the napkins. The point is the habit of helping, not the result.
- Ages 5 to 9: the kids' chart. The eight printed chores are a menu, not a list; cover two or three with a sticker and write your own. Stars are given on the day, and the weekly total decides the reward.
- Ages 10 to 15: the teen chart. The morning and evening split matters more than the chores. Agree the list once, pick a set time, and let the "checked" column replace nagging. The phone-charging line is there for a reason.
- The whole household: the family chart. Initial a box to claim a job for the week, check it when done, rotate on Sunday. Adults go on it too, or children notice.
- The allowance chart. Decide which chores pay and which are simply part of living in the house (most families pay for extras, not for making a bed). Write the price, count the checks, total it on Sunday.
- The monthly chart. For families who want one sheet on the fridge for a month. The cells take a dot or a check, not a sticker.
Common mistakes
- Redoing the chore. If a five-year-old's bed is lumpy, it is made. Fixing it in front of them teaches that trying is pointless.
- Chores as punishment. Keep the chart separate from discipline, or every chore feels like a penalty.
- Paying for everything. If every chore has a price, nothing is done for free. Keep a few unpaid "family jobs" on every chart.
- Changing the list every week. Same chores, same days, for at least a month. Routine is what makes the chart unnecessary in the end.
Frequently asked questions
What chores can a preschooler do?
Put toys in a box, put dirty clothes in a basket, put books back on a shelf, carry napkins or spoons to the table, feed a pet with a pre-measured cup, wipe up a spill with a cloth. The toddler chart has the first four; the picture chart adds teeth, bed, plate and reading for ages five and up.
Should chores be tied to allowance?
Families disagree, and both approaches work if they are consistent. The allowance chart lets you pay for some chores and not others: many parents pay for extras like washing the car and keep bed-making unpaid. The other seven charts have a reward line but no money column.
How do I get a teenager to use a chore chart?
Let them help write it. A list they agreed to is harder to argue with than one they were handed. Keep it short, fix the time of day, and check it once rather than reminding all evening. The "checked" column and the signed line make it a small contract.
Do these charts need stickers?
No. The kids' and toddler charts have star and box shapes that take a 12 to 16 mm sticker, but a crayon or a check works on every sheet. The monthly chart is designed for a marker dot.
Can I edit the chores?
The charts are PDFs, so edit them on paper: the kids' and toddler charts have chores you can cover with a sticker, the monthly and allowance charts have a write-over line under each chore, and the blank chart has eight empty rows.
