Chore Chart Printable, Weekly Family Grid With Editable Chore Names, Ages 4 and Up

A chore chart for up to 6 children. You type each child's name and chores one time on page 1, then print a weekly tick grid for each of them.

Setup (page 1): six blocks, each with a name and 8 chore lines. What you type there also appears on the other pages. Change a word on any page and the others change with it.

Family Chart (page 2): one sheet for the fridge. Each child's name, their first 4 chores and a tick box for each day.

My Chores (pages 3 to 8): one page per child with the name in large type, 8 rows and big tick boxes. A Draw it column sits beside each chore for children who cannot read yet. At the bottom are lines for what went well and what you agreed on for next week.

Chore ideas (page 9): 32 ideas in four age groups, from 4 and 5 up to 13 and over. Each one fits the chore field.

The Letter file starts the week on Sunday and the A4 file on Monday. The tick boxes are for pen on paper, so print a fresh chart each week.

HOW THIS WAS MADE
AI helped write the listing text, the how-to text, the printed labels and the code that builds this file. Scripts tested: the 54 fields, that each name and chore reaches the setup page, the Family Chart and the right child's page, the length limits, that the longest chore fits every field, 8 rows of 7 tick boxes on each child page, the day order in each file, the Tab order, ink near the page edge and text overflow. No person is claimed to have checked it unless stated here.

COMPATIBILITY
Fillable PDF with form fields, for Adobe Acrobat Reader on a computer. Page sizes in the files: US Letter 612 x 792 pt and A4 595 x 842 pt. Each size has 54 fields. A script typed into every field through PDFium's form engine, saved the file, reopened it and read each entry back with two PDF libraries (pikepdf and pypdf). It also drew the saved file with PDFium and poppler and found each entry on the page. Adobe Acrobat Reader and Preview have not been tried, so opening, typing and saving in them is untested, and it has not been test-printed on a real printer. Fields use a Western font: accented letters such as é and ñ were typed and read back in that script, and other alphabets were not tested.

QUESTIONS AND HOW-TO
How many children does it hold? Six. If you have fewer, leave the other blocks empty and print only the pages you use.

Why only 4 chores on the Family Chart? So six children fit on one sheet. Put the chores you want on the fridge first. All 8 show on the child's own page.

Can a child tick the boxes on screen? No. The boxes are printed for pen on paper. Names and chores are the only fields.

How long can a chore be? A chore stops at 32 letters and a name at 24, so the words fit on every page.

Can I use the Sunday start on A4 paper? Not directly. Use Fit or Scale to Fit in the print window to print the Letter file on A4. The page comes out slightly smaller, with wider margins.

Print settings for this PDF

Open the PDF in Adobe Acrobat Reader or Preview, not in a browser tab. Browsers can change the scale without telling you.

In the print window, pick the paper size that matches the file name.

In Acrobat Reader, set Page Sizing to Actual Size. In Preview, set Scale to 100%. If the edges get cut off, switch to Fit in Acrobat Reader or Scale to Fit in Preview.

Print one page first and check it before you print the rest.

To print only some pages, type the numbers in the Pages box, for example 3-8.

For double-sided pages, choose flip on long edge for portrait pages.

A4 or US Letter

US Letter is 8.5 x 11 inches (216 x 279 mm). It is the usual paper in the United States and Canada.

A4 is 210 x 297 mm (8.3 x 11.7 inches). It is the usual paper in most other countries.

The paper size is in each file name. Print the one that matches the paper in your printer.

If you only have the other size, use Fit or Scale to Fit in the print window. The page will come out slightly smaller, with wider margins.
