Last week I shared our new chore chart, and I’m now seriously regretting the title. Instead of DIY Chore Chart, I should’ve named it, “How to get your kids to beg you for more work!” because that’s what’s happening in our home now.
The kids are loving the fact that they get to choose their extra chores and earn as much as they want. I’m loving that the house is cleaner, and my husband and I aren’t the ones doing all the extra work.
The extra chores are great, but the kids know that before they can start earning money they need to complete their daily chores or, as we’ve started calling them, “family contributions.” (This may or may not have something to do with the fact that every time “chore” came out of my mouth my daughter would start crying.)
I designed these two chore charts to be placed in 5×7 frames so the kids can check off the completed chores every day with a dry erase marker. Of course, if you prefer to print a new one each day, you can do that too. I gave them each a few daily chores and then left space at the bottom to add the chores that are done on a weekly basis.

So you’re saying if I print these then my kids will beg for chores?!!! I’m going to hold you to that lol. These are really cute!
I’m happy to say mine have been. I think it has more to the “Work for Hire” system I posted a couple days ago (and linked to above) than this family contributions chart in particular. The family contributions have to be completed before they can earn money though so it plays an important role in the system. They like being able to choose their own chores and having the chance to earn a lot of money. If you give it a try, I hope you’ll come back and let me know how it works out.
Hahahahahha! I created this over a year ago to get my fiance excited about chore lists… Chore charts.. FOR ADULTS!

Whatever works, right! 🙂 Have have a chore chart for myself, and it helps me stay motivated. I just wish someone would pay me to do this stuff.
I LOVE these chore charts and have tried to print them out, but see no link for them. Is it available ?
Hi Mindy, They’re still available. After you sign up for my newsletter you’ll get an automatic e-mail with all of the printable links. If you need any help or have any problems just let me know 🙂
Hey Emily! I did sign up for your newsletter ( Thank you by the way!) , but when i go to the Printables page I don’t see the chore chart. Am I overlooking it !?
Hi Mindy! My fault! Looks like I forgot to add it. It’s there now. Thanks for letting me know and for signing up 🙂
Awesome! Thanks so much!!!
I absolutely love the chore charts!!! Their just gorgeous!!! I have a question that you can accept or decline. I would really like the girl chart: instead of saying “daily”, I need one saying “morning” and another saying “evening”. No “weekly” chores section. And with 10 entry lines on both sheets. I will GLADLY PAY you! Please email me @ jemmerling7@gmail.com.
Thank You Dearly,
Jessica E
Hi Jessica, thank you so much for asking! Unfortunately, I’m not able to take on custom work right now, but I’ll definitely keep it in mind for future printables. 🙂
Hi Emily – we were using your awesome chore charts last year for my 3 and it was working brilliantly. I have just gone to my files to reprint them to update due to new schedules but I can’t find it anywhere. Is it still available?
thanks
Julia
Hi Julia, Yay!!! I’m so happy to hear that! They are still available, thought things have been kind of chaotic since my rebranding (I’m sorry!). Have you checked the free printable library yet? They should be in there. I’ll check now too just to be sure. If you still can’t find them, please let me know, and I’ll get you a copy.
