Free Printable Chore Chart for Kids
Free printable chore chart for kids — daily and weekly tracking. Sticker or tick-box versions. Ages 4 to 12. Instant PDF download.
Chore charts work or they don't, and the thing that usually decides is whether the chart is actually visible and whether the parent remembers to mark it off. A fancy app lives in your phone, which means you forget. A sheet on the fridge is impossible to ignore. This is why the free printable chore chart has outlasted every tech solution anyone has tried.
The chart on this page comes in two versions: a daily grid with 7 rows (Monday to Sunday) and space for 5 to 8 chores per day, and a weekly version where chores are tracked as cumulative counts. Both versions have two marking styles — empty boxes for ticks, or circles for sticker placement. Kids under 6 usually prefer stickers; kids 7 and up prefer the tick-box version.
Keep expectations age-appropriate: 4 to 5 year olds can do 3 chores (tidy toys, put clothes in basket, brush teeth). 6 to 8 year olds can handle 5 to 6. 9 and up can manage more. Don't overload the chart — a shorter list that gets done is better than a longer one that gets ignored. Everything free and printable.

Frequently Asked Questions
What chores should a 5-year-old do?+
Tidy up toys, put dirty clothes in the basket, brush teeth, feed a pet, help set the table. Three to five simple tasks is plenty for this age.
Should chore charts include rewards?+
That's up to you. Some families reward with screen time, small treats, or a weekly pocket-money bump. Others treat chores as expected without rewards. Both work — pick the version that fits your household.
Can I customise the chores on the chart?+
The printable has blank rows so you can write your own chores. The pre-filled sheets have common ones (tidy toys, brush teeth, etc.) but you're not locked into them.
Sticker version or tick-box version?+
Stickers for ages 4 to 6 — the physical reward feels concrete. Tick boxes for ages 7 and up — they find stickers babyish but still like ticking.
