Hi everyone.. Thought Id share some of mine.. I have 6 boys aging 3-13 and they each have chored. some daily and weekly. We dont "reward" them for their chores, they are expected to get done on a daily basis.
Having a large family and also homeschooling- if we dont have a routine or include them in it, I think id have a ton of gray hair!lol

anyhow.. this is our breakdown from Oldest to youngest and age appr group that has worked for us.

Vacuming 9+
Mowing LAwn 10+
Poop Scoop 7+
Feeding Pets 4+
Clearing table 5+
Setting table 4+
Loading dishwasher 7+
Unloading Dishwasher 5+
Taking out garbage 7+
Folding Laundry 9+
Putting Laundry Away 6+
Making beds in morning 5+
Sorting Socks 5+
Matching SHOES! 3+
Wiping Bathroom sink eachday 6+
Picking up toys/tidying- everyone
Doing laundry 12+
Sweeping 10+
Prepare lunch 10+
Help prepaer dinner 10+

They all have their share of things they do.. they rotate monthly or they do buddy jobs.. The older ones "buddy" up with a younger one or with me if the task is to difficult to complete for their age alone..

There are several places off the net that you can print off room charts and adopt a system that works for your family.

Hope this helped..
Yvonne
