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 kids actually follow

  1. Start small. Three to five chores per child beats a wall of tasks — you can always add more once the routine sticks.
  2. 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.
  3. Use the Bonus toggle for extras. Keep must-do chores required, and mark above-and-beyond jobs as bonus so expectations stay clear.
  4. Let the fairness meter referee. If one bar runs long, shift a chore or a day before the week starts — it heads off the "that's not fair!" argument.
  5. 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.
  6. 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. Totals appear in the fairness meter, and you can include points on the printed chart for allowance or reward tracking.
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.
