Six Household Chores on a Slate Blue Responsibility Chart
A slate blue page holds a white panel with a faint diamond pattern. Chores and Behavior Responsibility sits in bold dark letters on a white tab, with Chart Template in a white handwritten font beside it. A pale blue header row reads Name, Chore/Task and Monday to Sunday. Six chores are listed: Dishwashing, Vacuuming, Homework, Feeding Pets, Laundry and Tidying Bedroom, plus an Other row.
A Simple Family Chore Grid
The chart is 11 x 8.5 inches, landscape. The plain grid works for one child or for several, with a different name in each row.
One Name per Row
Each row has its own [Name] cell, so you can assign chores to different family members on one sheet. The heading includes Chart Template, which you can shorten to Chart. Change the chores to suit your home and children’s ages.
Setting Up the Chore Chart
- Shorten the heading.
- Assign a name to each chore.
- Adjust chores for age.
- Pin it on the fridge.
- Tick each day.
Chores by Age
Young children can feed pets and tidy toys. Older children can vacuum and help with laundry. Match chores to ability so children succeed. A five year old might tidy toys while a teenager cooks a simple meal once a week.
Rotating Chores Weekly
Swap names around each week so nobody gets stuck with the least popular chore. A rota written in pencil makes it easy to change names around.
Homework as a Responsibility
Homework is listed as a task, which reminds children it is part of their daily responsibilities. Ticking it alongside chores shows that schoolwork is part of family life.
Printing in Black and White
The slate blue frame prints grey in black and white, which still looks neat. Coloured paper can add a bright touch to a black and white copy.
Pocket Money Links
Some families link chores to pocket money. Agree the rules in advance. Write the amount for each chore in the Other row so everyone can see the deal.
Using the Chore Chart
Start a new sheet each Monday.
