Free Printable 15 Minute Chore Checklists

Free Printable Kids Chore Charts

How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.

Telling a child to clean a room is overwhelming. These check lists are broken down into easy doable one to three minute chores. Assign a child a room or a few steps. Hang the kids core chart in the appropriate room.

Explain to your children if you complete the list every day each can be done in about 15 minutes!

Click on list to get 8.5 x11 sheet for printing. Laminate list. Use dry erase markers to check off or assign chores. (If you don’t have a laminate consider getting one, we use ours all the time).

Here is a blank list to make your own

A 15 Minute Cleanup time is a great way to stay ahead of clutter. To really keep a home clean you should add weekly to do lists too (clean out fridge, clean under beds, closets, etc).

Robin you are such a God send in so many ways. I have been really appreciating all you have given to us homeschool moms. Thank you for ALL you do and for listening to the Lord and to give the way you do over and over again.

Blessings and ((HUGS)) my SSiC (sweet sister in Christ)

This (downloadable chore charts) is a great resource that is so handy. I can honestly say that chore charts really work if moms and dads follow through to help their children establish the habits of discipline. This means just checking to make sure that it gets done, and offer some simple rewards or privileges when they meet certain pre-decided goals. I have 5 children and we are almost finished homeschooling, and chore charts have been a big part of our lives all these year, even now with teens and college students.
