Free printable chore chart for kids
Print this weekly chore chart and hang it where your kids can see it. The PDF has two versions: one with common chores filled in, and a blank one for your own list. No email needed.
How to use this chore chart
- Choose a few chores. Start with two or three, then add more once the routine sticks. Use the filled-in page or write your own on the blank one.
- Hang it somewhere easy to see. The fridge or a bedroom door works well. Print one for each child.
- Color in a lily pad when a chore is done. Letting your child do the coloring gives them a small win.
- Review the week together. Count the chores done, fill in anything earned, and color a lily pad in the savings row if they’re working toward a goal.

Common questions
Is the chore chart really free?
Yes. Download it, print as many copies as you need for your family, and use it every week.
Should kids get paid for chores?
That’s up to your family. Some parents pay for each chore, some give a set allowance, and some keep chores and money separate. The “Earned this week” box is there if you want it, and it’s fine to leave it blank.
