Summer Break Chore Chart
Kids at home all summer need rhythm or chaos sets in. This chart gives them daily structure with morning chores baked in.
Who this is for
Parents juggling kids home for 6–10 weeks with no school structure. The chart provides the structure school normally would.
Without school, kids' days collapse into screen time unless something defines the day. Morning chores are the cheapest possible structure: get up, eat, do these three things, then the day is yours.
Most families find that 30–45 minutes of morning chores totally reset behaviour for the rest of the day. The kids get more freedom; you get a calmer house.
