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. Grown-ups use Choreeo on the web to save names and habits, share turns, and edit the chart before reprinting. Kids do not need another screen.
Keep the paper. Skip the rewriting.
Use the free PDF by hand, or let Choreeo make a personalized chart with shared turns and each kid’s habits.
Make your family’s chartQuestions parents ask
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.
