Instructions

1. 
    
   Find it Online.

   LOOK ONLINE - Blank Chore Charts are available in spades online. If you need a chore chart and quick, use this option.
   
   Benefits of printing blank chore charts out online include the short amount of time.
   
   Negatives of printing chore charts out online is that they are typically printed on regular sized paper and do not stand out. Therefore, they are less likely to be successful.
   
   ** I highly recommend, that if you print a blank chore chart out from the internet, you print it in color and add pictures (if not already chosen). Frame it with larger colored paper. This will draw the eye to the chart and serve as a reminder to do the chores.

   BUY A PRE-MADE BLANK CHORE CHART - Due to the popularity of chore charts, pre-made blank chore charts are sold in local stores and online.
   
   If you buy a pre-made chore chart be prepared to choose among a variety of types (including magnetic charts, felt and cloth charts, dry erase board charts, etc.) themes and color schemes. Pre-Made chore charts can add to the decor of your room and will draw interest to the family.

Tips & Warnings

• The best chore charts will use a reward system! See the article "How to keep a Household Chore List Successful" in resource section for more information.
• The best blank chore charts will be ones which require little maintenance and can be used for an extended period of time. For example: if you have to print a new chart every week, it is more work and less likely you will keep up the chore chart. It also removes the possibility of comparing week-week performance, which can be motivating.
