Weekly Chore Chart for Kids
This is a simple list of items in a weekly chore chart for elementary school aged children.
Using a chore chart is a great way to help your children learn about responsibility and create good habits.
Your kids will know what they need to do at a glance. They can also see what will have to be done in the future helping with planning and time management.
How the Chore Chart Works
- Uses AM and PM time frames to designate chore times.
- “Bonus Chore” could be anything out of the ordinary or an increase in level of difficulty with an additional reward attached.
- The "Other" section is for you to add additional items that suit your family situation. It could be something like wrapping presents for a birthday or painting Easter eggs.
The way this chart is organized can give you a different angle on designating tasks that is creative, easily explainable and a fun learning tool.
How to Use the Chore Chart
- Print the chore chart out.
- Hang it on the refrigerator or pin it to a bulletin board.
- The kids check off each item when they are done.
