Chores for 6-year-olds
Good chores for 6-year-olds are small, visible, and repeatable: make the bed, brush teeth, hamper clothes, set the table, feed a pet with help, tidy toys, pack the backpack, and help clear dishes.

Chores By Room And Routine
Six is old enough to follow a chart. It is still young enough to need nearby support.
| Area | Chores | Parent support |
|---|---|---|
| Bedroom | Make bed, hamper clothes, put books back | Accept a kid-made bed. |
| Kitchen | Set table, clear plate, unload silverware | Put dishes in reachable places. |
| School morning | Pack backpack, shoes by door | Use the same order every day. |
Why The System Breaks
The chore takes four minutes. The remembering follows the parent around all day: update rows, count stars, and decide what changed this week.
The Choreeo loop
Choreeo keeps the kid-facing part on paper. Parents use the iPhone app to log real life with Siri or a quick tap, then print a fresh fridge chart when the week changes. Kids do not need another screen.

What chores should a 6-year-old do every day?
Pick a few daily jobs: make bed, brush teeth, hamper clothes, pack backpack, clear plate, and feed a pet with help.
How many chores should a 6-year-old have?
Five to seven chart rows is a good range. Put the most repeated reminders on the chart first.
What if my 6-year-old still needs reminders?
That is normal. The chart gives the parent something to point to and the child a place to look before asking what comes next.
