A Sample Chore Chart Here is an example of a chore chart used for a family of eight children. Each of the smile stickers represents a child. The children range in age from 14 years (dark blue sticker) to 4 years (beige sticker). As can be seen the younger children have less duties. The chores are: Clean Bathrooms (upstairs, basement, powder room) Load and Empty Dishwasher Dust and Vacuum (living room, study, dining room, office, halls, basement bedroom) Garbage/Recycling Kitchen Help Broom Sweeping Take Care of Cat Laundry Car Choice -- a privilege, not a chore! Chores change every week as shown.
To keep track of the week, a large paper clip attached to the top of the sheet is moved over the correct column.
