Family Routine & Chore Charts

Family Routine & Chore Chart Pack

50 chart and tracker sheets | 63 pages | Ages 3-12 | Completely undated

Mornings, bedtimes and jobs around the house all go better when everybody can SEE what happens next. This is the whole system on paper: the routine charts, the chore charts, the cut-out cards, the pocket money pages and the trackers. Print the pages you need, stick them where everyone already walks past, and start fresh next week.

Written for Australian families, in Australian words - doona, lounge room, letterbox, kerb, veggies, Blu Tack, dollars and cents.

Nothing here is dated. No month names, no dates on any planning page - just a small copyright credit in the footer - so the same page reprints every week for years.

• When the Charts Stop Working - 8 things that go wrong with charts and exactly what to do about each

Who Is This for?

• Families with children roughly 3 to 12. Picture charts and picture chore cards for the little ones, word charts, pocket money and habit trackers for the older ones
• One child or four - there are single-child charts, a whole-family board and a fair rotation
• New routines, new school year, a new baby, a house move, a fortnight at grandma's, or just a month where mornings have stopped working

Print Tips

• Start with ONE chart. A morning routine on the fridge beats six charts nobody looks at
• Slip a chart into a plastic sleeve and tick it with a whiteboard marker - one print then lasts all year
• Print single-sided on the heaviest paper your printer takes if you are cutting out the chore cards, and stick them on cardboard
• Stick charts at your child's eye height, not yours, and where they already stand
• Everything prints cleanly in colour, and stays readable in greyscale

File Details

• 2 PDF files: A4 and US Letter, 63 pages each, identical content
• Completely undated - no month names and no dates on any planning page, so it reprints for years
• Instant digital download - no physical product will be shipped
• Works on tablets too: import into GoodNotes, Notability or Xodo and write with a stylus
