I had a request to see the summer chore charts that I made.

So here’s how I made the chore charts. I simply printed on an 8 1/2 X 11 piece of card stock my kids names (i.e. Sydney’s Chore Chart). I found some clip art and enlarged it to the correct size for chore pockets. I printed up pictures of chores for Isaac and just printed Sydney’s chores in words. I cut everything out, got them laminated, and cut them out again.  Then with invisible thread I sewed the pockets onto the chart. For Isaac’s chart I made interchangeable days-of-the-week (velcro sewn on with invisible thread also).

How it works: At the beginning of the day I put the chores that my kids need to do in the left-hand pocket. When a chore is completed they put that chore in the right-hand pocket. Sydney’s chore labelled “good deed” is any extra chore I come up with for her that needs to be done.
