Same here, the kids don't really do that many chores. Of course they are in charge of keeping their rooms clean and getting dirty laundry to the wash, and then folding and putting away their laundry.
Then my big kids alternate weekly chores - the two big girls / the two big boys - one pair is on "Kitchen" duty (dishes, counters, garbage, floor) while the other is on "Dining Room" duty (setting the table, cleaning the table, vacuuming under the table).
Each of the big kids has a set day that they are in charge of taking the dog out, and if the dog has an accident in the house then that child has to clean it up (incentive to not forget to take her out! LOL!)
We have a lot of garbage, so everybody is on garbage duty on trash day.
Other than that, it's as needed, and as assigned by me. If I need a bathroom cleaned, or stairs vacuumed, then it's the job of whoever I think needs to get some energy out, or whoever needs something to do!
