Clean Up Cards

Divvy up the chores and get the housework done so Mom will have time for some family fun! Some families have assigned chores for each person, but if you want to diversify your kids’ cleaning skills, our free printable chore cards will get you started. 

Everyone in the family can chip in on the chores with our free printable chore cards. Choose the housework that needs to be done from the cards on the pages. Place them in a bowl and let everyone grab one or two depending on how many chores you have. We’ve included several blank cards so you can add to our list or create your own customized chores. Even little ones can get in on the action. Just put a couple of the easier chores aside for them. They’ll master the art of emptying wastebaskets and watering the plants in no time.

Write the name of the person who is doing the chore on the checklist, and let them check it off when their mission is accomplished. Printable chore cards are a great way to fairly divide up housework and have fun in the process. And if your kids want to swap once they pull their cards, tell them to go for it!

When your kids are clamoring to get out on the weekend, but you are overwhelmed with housework, take time for an important life lesson – teamwork. Here’s a great idea for teaching teamwork. When there’s work to be done, have everyone choose a card or two, and perform the task on the card. If someone finishes early, they can benefit by helping someone else because the sooner they finish, the sooner the family fun begins!
