Chore chart

Who does what, and on which day.

Twelve tasks down the side, seven days across the top. Enough space to name the job and mark it done, and small enough to live on a fridge.

Weekly chore chart, twelve tasks across seven days

Why this one

A chore chart works for the same reason a habit tracker does: it makes the state of things visible without anyone having to ask. On a fridge, an unticked box on Thursday is a fact rather than an accusation.

The chart is undated and unnamed, so the same sheet works for a child, a household rota, or a shared flat. Write names in the task column if you are splitting jobs by person rather than by day.

How to use it

  1. Write the week at the top, and the tasks down the left.
  2. If you are splitting by person, add the name next to the task.
  3. Mark the box when the job is done, not when it is assigned.
  4. Print a fresh one each week rather than erasing — the old sheets show the pattern.

Printing it

The PDF above is already sized for Letter and A4 — download it and print as many copies as you like. To print straight from this page instead, use the print button and choose portrait orientation at 100% scale; the navigation and explanatory text are hidden automatically. The print guide covers the settings that cause most problems.

There is no watermark, no signup, and no limit. If you are printing a stack to keep, 120 gsm paper takes pen pressure without showing through.

Common questions

Is this for kids or adults?
Either. The rows are blank, so it works as a child’s reward chart, a shared-house rota, or a straightforward weekly cleaning schedule. Nothing on the sheet assumes an age.
How many chores does it fit?
Twelve rows across seven days. That is generally more than a household needs, which leaves room to add tasks without reprinting.
Can I use it for more than one person?
Yes. Write the person’s name alongside the task, or print one sheet per person — they are free and undated, so there is no reason to ration them.
