Mini Lesson
This year you learned lots of ways to be a helper at home. Now you can put them on a chores chart. A chores chart shows your jobs for each day. You use it for a whole week, then count your check marks with your grown-up.
🏠 The Life Skills Way (step by step)
- TALK: sit down with your grown-up and talk about chores.
- PICK: choose 3 or 4 chores you can do.
- DRAW: make a chart with the days of the week across the top.
- HANG IT UP: with your grown-up, put your chart on the wall where you can see it.
- CHECK OFF: put a check mark for each chore when it is done.
🧺 Chores You Already Know
- CLOTHES AND FLOORS: fold clothes, sort laundry, clean up a spill, sweep.
- FOOD: wash fruit and vegetables, help make a sandwich.
- THINGS AND LIVING THINGS: put your things away, water your seeds, help care for a pet.
Do your chores with a grown-up nearby. Hot, sharp, and poison things, like the stove, knives, and cleaning sprays, are a grown-up job.
