'''Chore charts''' are also called reward charts, behavior charts, chore calendars, chore lists or task lists. A '''chore chart''' is a listing used to track and organize the [house work](/source/house_work). The [chart](/source/chart) can be physical or [virtual](/source/Virtuality) and is often a means used by parents to post [chores](/source/House_work) expected of their children.

Different homes have different ways of organizing and implementing a chore system, including simple paper charts tacked on the refrigerator. There has been a lot of research, experiential evidence and discussion of chore charts.<ref name="The Telegraph">[http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=NTGB&p_theme=ntgb&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=10B98D25041EDAF8&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&s_trackval=GooglePM The Telegraph]</ref><ref name="Denver Post">[http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=DP&p_theme=dp&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=0EAF44E58284CFC5&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&s_trackval=GooglePM Denver Post]

== Age appropriate chores ==
Chore charts list household tasks, sometimes one chore chart per child and sometimes a combined list. Since children of different abilities and ages can handle various responsibilities, the chores featured on a chore chart can be divided by age.<ref name="Los Angeles Times">[https://web.archive.org/web/20110525134825/http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/latimes/access/58475642.html?dids=58475642:58475642&FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&date=Jan+23,+1986&author=BONNIE+McCULLOUGH&pub=Los+Angeles+Times+(pre-1997+Fulltext)&desc=Getting+Kids+to+Help+With+the+Housework&pqatl=google Los Angeles Times]</ref> Younger [children](/source/children) may not responsibly handle complex chores, but may still be able and want to help around the house.

== Reward for chores ==
While some parents do not give [allowance](/source/allowance_(money)) or [reward](/source/Bounty_(reward)) for household chores, there is evidence that allowance and reward helps to create financially sound adults and teach [financial](/source/financial) responsibility.<ref>{{Cite web | url=http://www.investopedia.com/articles/pf/07/kids_allowance.asp?viewed=1 | title=Settling-In Allowance }}</ref>
