A chore chart takes the nagging out of housework by making expectations clear and progress visible. You list the chores down the left side and tick the box under each day once the job is done. For children it turns tidying into a small game with a satisfying tick, and for shared households it settles the quiet question of who did what. This printable gives you ten chore rows and a column for every day of the week on one landscape page. Choose whether the week starts on Monday or Sunday, print it, and pin it somewhere everyone passes. PrintNook builds the chart in your browser and hands you a clean PDF, free to reprint each week.
What a chore chart is good for
Kids and pocket money
Tie chores to allowance by ticking each completed job. Children can see their own progress, which makes the routine feel fair.
Shared households
Split the load between housemates or family so everyone knows their tasks. The ticked boxes end the debate about who did what.
Weekly cleaning routine
Spread bigger jobs across the week rather than facing them all on one day. A row per chore keeps the whole rhythm in view.
Write chores that can be ticked, not chores that can be argued about
Ten rows is enough for a household and too many for one child, and the rows that fail are always the vague ones. Tidy your room cannot be ticked without a discussion, because nobody agrees when it is done. Put away toys, make bed, and bin out on Tuesday can. Write each row so that anyone walking past the sheet can tell whether it happened. The second rule is one chart per household, not one per person: the value of a shared sheet is that it ends the question of who did what, and that only works if everyone is on the same page, literally.

Frequently asked questions
How many chores fit on the chart?
The chart has ten chore rows and a column for each day of the week, which is plenty for a household routine or a child's daily tasks.

Can I start the week on Monday?
Yes. The start day toggle reorders the day columns before you download.
Are the chores printed on it?
No, the rows are blank. A printed chore list is somebody else's household, and the rows only get ticked if the people doing them wrote them.
Is it reusable?
It is undated, so print a fresh sheet each week. If you want to reuse one sheet, put it in a plastic sleeve and tick with a whiteboard marker.
Free to use in a childminding setting?
Yes, for anything. The PDFs are free for personal, classroom and commercial use, with no attribution required and no watermark anywhere on the page.
