Chore Chart Worksheet

An important part of teaching a child responsibility, accountability, and maturity is to provide structure and routine in their daily schedule.

Assign children daily chores can help with their development, as they learn how to manage responsibilities and maintain a routine.

Chores help children learn ways to interact with their environment and take initiative, which helps them become self-sufficient and internalize the good in themselves. A great way to help a child learn how to handle responsibilities and be proud of their efforts to maintain their space is to introduce a chore chart to the family routine.

About This Worksheet

Visuals can serve as excellent aids when introducing a child to daily chores. The Chore Chart worksheet is a weekly calendar intended to keep track of completed chores throughout the week.

On this worksheet, the child is instructed to track their weekly completed chores and work toward the goal of completing their chores. The child is given the incentive of a reward if they complete all or most of their chores throughout the week. This chart provides a visual aid to help the child keep up with chores, along with positive reinforcement to stick with the routine.

Instructions

At the beginning of the week, the parent is to sit with the child and review weekly chores. The parent and child work together to list chores for the child to complete and agree on a reward if they meet their goal.

During the week, spend some time each night with the child reviewing what was completed on the chart. Mark all completed chores with either a sticker or a check mark. If the child reaches their goal, they receive their reward. This worksheet can be used as a homework assignment with children in individual and family therapy.
