▶Kids Routine, Chore and Reward Chart System
Charts you type into once and print every week, plus a workbook that turns checked chores into points, streaks and each kid's allowance.
It is 7:10 in the morning and you have asked three times whether anyone brushed their teeth.
- Eleven charts in one set: morning and bedtime routines, weekly and family chore charts, reward, behavior and responsibility charts, a big-type morning checklist, a toddler picture routine, an allowance chart and a blank editable chart
- 804 fillable fields in every Letter and A4 file, 580 of them check boxes, and a phone edition you can tap through the day
- Three styles and three sizes: Bright, Calm and Mono (the ink saver), each on US Letter, A4 and a 9:16 phone page, 99 chart pages in all
- Type a name once and it fills all ten charts that have a Name box, and common chores like Brush my teeth are already typed in, ready to type over
- Seventeen simple drawn icons and clean type: no licensed characters and no clip art
- A Chore and Allowance Command Center workbook with 1,924 formulas: chores by kid and day, points, full days, streaks and each kid's allowance split into save, spend and give, for up to five kids
- Check one chore and the allowance moves: in the invented sample, Milo goes from $7.00 to $7.50 and from 16 to 18 of 18 points
- Printable Week prints a filled chart for the fridge on one landscape page, and the Allowance Ledger keeps running balances
Overview
Charts you type into once and print every week, plus a workbook that turns checked chores into points, streaks and each kid's allowance.
It is 7:10 in the morning and you have asked three times whether anyone brushed their teeth.
The charts put the routine where the kids can see it, and the workbook does the part a paper chart cannot: it counts the checks and works out the allowance. In the invented sample family, Milo is at 16 of 18 points and $7.00 for the week. Check his Friday trash chore and he moves to 18 of 18 points, $7.50 and a 7-day streak.
What's Included
One ZIP, 15 files:
- Nine editable PDF files, each holding the same eleven charts: Bright, Calm and Mono, each on US Letter, A4 and a phone page
- Morning Routine, Bedtime Routine, Weekly Chore Chart, Family Chore Chart, Reward Chart, Behavior Chart, Responsibility Chart, Morning Checklist, Toddler Routine, Allowance Chart and a Blank Editable Chart
- The Chore and Allowance Command Center workbook in four color editions with eight tabs: Start Here, Setup, Chores, This Week, Printable Week, Allowance Ledger, Dashboard and Help
- A two page Quick-Start PDF and a START-HERE file that names every file and explains the charts
- A PDF with the Google Sheets copy link for the workbook
Key Benefits
Why this one
Every chart is a real fillable PDF. Type the name and the week once and the charts that carry them fill in, click a chore to type over it, save a copy per child, and print at actual size.
Open the Phone file in the free Adobe Acrobat Reader app and tap a square to check it. Each chart has a Clear checks button that shows on screen and never prints.
The workbook adds a weekly base to the points times your amount per point, rounds to the cent, and splits it into save, spend and give by each kid's percentages, so the three always add up.
A full day is a day where every planned chore is checked, and the streak is the longest run of full days in the week. The dashboard shows each kid's allowance, points, best streak and savings.
The toddler routine uses twelve picture rows with captions you can change, and the morning checklist uses six steps in big type for early readers.
Who It's For
Built for
- A parent of two or three kids who wants one chart per child and one family chart, typed once and printed every week
- A family starting an allowance who wants the money tied to the chores and split into save, spend and give
- A parent of a toddler or an early reader who wants a picture routine or a big-type checklist
- A parent who wants to check chores off on a phone instead of a pen
How It Works
Up and running in minutes
Open the Bright, Calm or Mono file for Letter, A4 or the phone in the free Adobe Acrobat Reader.
Type the child's name and the week, change the chores you want, and save one copy per child.
Type the week and up to five kids on Setup, then pick who does what on which days on Chores.
Check chores off on This Week, print Printable Week for the fridge, and log each allowance on the ledger at the end of the week.
Why It's Different
Not another template
Search for a kids chore chart and most of what comes back is a picture: a printable you write on with a pen, or a board that ships in a box. This set is built to be typed into. Every chart is a real fillable PDF with common chores already in place, a name you type once for every chart, and a phone edition you can tap through the day. And it carries the half a picture cannot, a workbook that counts the checks and works out the allowance, split into save, spend and give, so the chart on the fridge and the money on Friday agree.

FAQ
Questions, answered
What format is this?
Nine editable PDF files (the same eleven charts in three styles and three sizes) and one workbook (.xlsx) in four color editions, plus a quick-start PDF, a START-HERE file and the Google Sheets access PDF. 15 files in one ZIP, yours the moment payment clears.
Can I change the chores?
Yes. Every chore line is a field: click one and type over it, or delete it to leave a line to write on. In the workbook, rename a chore in the library and the new name is used everywhere.
Can I print it every week?
Yes. Print the PDF charts at actual size, one page per chart, or print Printable Week from the workbook, which fills itself from the Chores tab and fits one landscape page.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. Open a Phone file in the free Adobe Acrobat Reader app and tap a square to check it. Some phone file previews show the page but do not let you type, so use the Acrobat Reader app.
Do I need Canva?
No. There is no Canva file and no account. The charts are fillable PDFs you type straight into.
Is this parenting advice?
No. It is a set of charts and a spreadsheet that counts the checks you make. The suggested ages and amounts in the workbook are starting points, not rules.
The charts are fillable PDFs: typing needs Adobe Acrobat Reader, most browsers or Preview on a Mac, and typed text is kept only when you save the file. The Clear checks buttons work in Acrobat Reader and most browsers and are ignored by Preview and some phone viewers. The PDFs do no math; the workbook does. Name and Week of are linked across a file, so keep one copy per child. Streaks count within one week, and a new week is started by hand. Google Sheets ignores the workbook's print settings, and Apple Numbers drops some formatting. There is no Word edition. Nothing here is parenting advice, and the suggested ages and amounts are starting points. The Larkin family and every figure in the sample were invented for the example. Digital product; because the files are delivered instantly, all sales are final.
