Kids' Free Chore Chart

free kids chore chart

Many of us don’t enjoy doing household chores, but for a home to run smoothly, they have to get done. As our kids get old enough to pick up after themselves and then are able to help with more tasks around the house, we can begin to make daily and weekly chores part of their routine. Taking on a little responsibility is a great character builder and will give your children a sense of pride. 

Why Kids Need Chores

To Learn Life Skills — Household chores help teach life skillls. How often have you heard about teenagers and young adults who don’t know how to do the most basic household chores, like laundry or cooking? Your children will be on their own eventually, and you want them to be prepared to take care of themselves. I know sometimes it takes longer to teach our kids how to do something than to just do it ourselves, but we are their teachers. Don’t send them out into the world without the skills needed to run their own homes someday.



To Learn Time Management — Older children can develop good time management habits early when they learn how to prioritize school, chores, and spending time with friends. This is a skill they’ll need in high school, college and the working world.

Confidence and Self-Esteem — Completing their jobs around the house and knowing they’re contributing to the family’s well-being boosts kids’ self-esteem. They’ll feel a sense of satisfaction when they complete their chores and gain confidence in their abilities as you entrust them with more responsibility.

Independence and Responsibility — The goal of parenting is to raise our kids to be independent adults. When we give them age-appropriate chores, we’re setting them up for success later in life. 

Respect — Children often don’t realize how much their parents have done for them until they move out. They can get some idea though when they pitch in around the house. Taking on a few chores may make them more respectful of the work that goes into maintaining a home.

Discipline and a Good Work Ethic — Disclipline and a good work ethic are valuable traits that will serve your child well for the rest of their lives. Besides their regular household chores, as they get older, you can offer your child extra tasks to help them earn money. Talk to them about working toward savings goals too.

I thought of Maya Angelou when I watched the inaug I thought of Maya Angelou when I watched the inauguration. She was the poet at Bill Clinton's inauguration, if anyone remembers. This is the link to that reading youtube.com/watch?v=8ecWterxtq0 ("On the Pulse of Morning")  She lived not far from me, and when she died, I went to her estate sale. I regretted not going to see her speak while I had the chance and wanted to buy something that belonged to her. We were actually able to go into her house. People were picking through her dishes and rooms full of books, and there were paintings and scuptures she'd been gifted that were selling for thousands of dollars. Her bedroom was closed off, but it felt like we shouldn't be there.  For the few who don't know it, this is probably her most famous poem and my favorite:  Still I Rise  You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I’ll rise.  Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
’Cause I walk like I’ve got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.
Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I’ll rise.  Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops,
Weakened by my soulful cries?  Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don’t you take it awful hard
’Cause I laugh like I’ve got gold mines
Diggin’ in my own backyard.  You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I’ll rise.  Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I’ve got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?  Out of the huts of history’s shame
I rise
Up from a past that’s rooted in pain
I rise
I’m a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.  Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.
