You could use posterboard, with days of week going across the top, annd chores placed vertically, on the left hand side. Draw grid lines vertically after each day of the week and horizontally , beneath each chore.

Place an "X" in the blocks, using indelible marker, on the days of the week he has specific chores. It can be placed on an easel or hung on a wall where he sees it, daily.

You can use anything from cookie sheets to craft sticks. Here's a link with lots of idea:

I found a dry erase board works well. That way as each chore is completed they can erase that item. Just make sure you put this up in an area that can be seen well since out of sight out of mind is very true.

First, make a list of the household chores that need to be done and have your kids choose the age-appropriate chores they want to do. Start with two or three chores per day so you don't overwhelm them. Create a chart with these four columns: Household chore with specific instructions.

Here's some good info. Chores should be assigned according to what actually needs to be done. In our family we had chores for the kids that were must do and then a few listed as extra where they receive a small amount of money to use for whatever they wished. Hope this helps with deciding what's suitable for your 12-year old. We found having the chart eased up on our nagging and they actually took pride in checking off the tasks as completed.

Hello A whiteboard and dry erase markers and thin tape might be an option to consider .

Have some chores on the chart that need to be done every day/every week that your son is responsible for completing on his own. Establish some kind of small reward when he successfully completes, and records as completed, all required tasks, without verbal reminders from adults.

Also have some chores every week that he can choose himself, perhaps from a pre-established list. This is a great opportunity for him to learn to new life skills and develop confidence in his own abilities; how to use particular tools, small appliances, pet care skills, grocery shopping, cleaning products, prepare different food for the family etc.

Remember the 'chores' don't have to always mean drudgery, they can be made into fun activities also.

I would type up something in Word - and put it in a plastic cover. Then use dry erase marker so he can check it off daily and erase the next day.

Here is a free one I made that you can have: https://www.craftylittlegnome.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Morning-Chores.jpg

Hi! My granddaughter has a chore chart. As she completes each chore, she moves a decorated clothespin up a color on the chart. She also has to pick an additional chore out of a bowl once a week. When she completes everything she earns privileges like watching a video. She can read whenever she wants, preferably outside. Outdoor activities are also encouraged during nice weather. A treat might be a new book or picking a new craft item. She also picked the colors for her chart, painted them. She decorated the clothespin, too. If she doesn't complete a task, she can't watch any tv that evening with her parents. Good luck and stay safe!

We used to have a dry-erase calendar and list which kid was supposed to do the evening dishes.

Get or make one with a weeks worth of boxes label them Sunday to sat then make a list of chores to do then give to him on certain days
