How to use it

  1. Write each person's name in a coloured block and list up to three chores next to it.
  2. Put the chart somewhere everyone walks past, such as the fridge or the hallway.
  3. Tick the box for each day the chore gets done. Kids usually like doing this themselves.
  4. At the end of the week, count the ticks and note any reward or pocket money in the bottom section.
  5. Print a fresh sheet each week, and rotate chores if some are more popular than others.

Who it's for

Families sharing housework between parents and kids, and roommates or shared houses who want a visible, fair split. For young children, keep to one or two simple chores each, such as feeding a pet or making the bed.
