Chore Chart for Kids Ages 8–12
A chore chart gives children their own jobs at home, matched to their age: tidying toys and feeding the pet for little ones, making the bed and setting the table next, bins, laundry and the dishwasher for older children. A sticker or a tick for every day, and pocket money or a treat at the end of the week.
