School and Chore Charts Tutorial
So nearly 50,000 of you have downloaded this chore chart system, but do you use it? Do you see the vision here? So many times I download something from the internet and think to myself “well, that’s cute, but I don’t get it.” So yesterday, I made my son a new chart (the last one got destroyed long ago when we moved). I know, it took me nearly two year to get around to making him a new one. I’m not sure why? I guess I thought he was getting too old for it. But, when he saw it finished he said “Oh mom, I remember that chart… I loved it!” Then my 14 year old daughter asked when hers was going to be finished. I was shocked! But, it’s so easy to use, you’ll see why.
- half size poster board (if you’re using the smaller chart you can use the small poster boards that come in a 5 pack)
- velcro sticker buttons (keep in mind that you will need double of one side of the velcro to add to the poster board)
- scissors
- double stick tape
- I also print out something like ‘Chris’ Chore Chart’ to add to the top
- First, print off your card choice (small or large)… I personally like the large.
- Cut them out and laminate them.
- Print out the grid using colored paper (if desired) and laminate.
- On your grid chart, add a velcro button to each square
- Then add the opposite velcro button to the velcro on the grid chart
- Next, add all the cards to the grid… the ‘opposite’ side of velcro will stick to the back of the cards.
- Now add the ‘opposites’ again to the back of the cards.
- Add double stick tape to the grid and add it to the bottom of the poster board.
- Above the poster board add all the cards.
- Add title with glue or double stick tape.
- Trim around the poster board
