Chore Chart Builder
Add children, choose chores from the library, assign them to days on a weekly grid, and print or save a chart as PDF. Free, no account, works in your browser.
Tips for a chore chart your family will actually use
- Start small. Three to five chores per child beats a wall of tasks — you can always add more once the routine sticks.
- Anchor chores to real days. "Trash out on Tuesday" is easier to remember than a floating to-do, and the weekly grid makes those anchors visible.
- Use the Bonus toggle for extras. Keep must-do chores required, and mark above-and-beyond jobs as bonus so expectations stay clear.
- Watch the workload view. If one child's total runs long, shift a chore or a day before the week starts — the points are an editable estimate, so adjust them when your family sees a chore differently.
- Post the chart at kid height. A chart on the fridge that kids can reach and check gets used; one on a shelf gets forgotten.
- Check it at the same time each day. A quick after-dinner review keeps the chart alive without nagging.
Using the builder
- How do I give the same chore to two kids?
- In the Assign step, tap the chore's cell on a day and tick both kids — or use the "Everyone" button to assign the whole family at once. Each child shows up in the cell with their own color.
- Can each child get their own printed page?
- Yes. In the Print step choose "One chart per child" and each kid gets a clean portrait page with just their chores. The "Weekly family chart" layout puts everyone on one landscape grid instead.
- How do points work?
- Points are optional. Flip on the Points toggle in the Assign step and every chore gets an editable point value. Per-child totals appear in the workload view, and you can include points on the printed chart for allowance or reward tracking. The totals are a rough estimate you set, not an objective score.
- How do I start a new week?
- Use Reset Week in the Assign step. It clears the day assignments but keeps your kids, chores, rewards, and print settings — so setting up next week takes seconds, not minutes.
