    Printable Job Cards for Kids (6 Easy to Follow Cards!)

    April 3, 2020 By Brandy 1 Comment

    These printable job cards are an easy way for kids to complete simple household tasks like tidying up the bathroom, kitchen, or their bedroom. Everything they need to do is on a laminated card.

    I don't know about you, but I feel like I am constantly micromanaging my children. Especially now that they are home for the rest of the school year because of Covid-19. Not only am I reminding them do finish their daily tasks, but also school work and practicing their musical instruments for their respective band classes. On top of this, we aren't supposed to leave the house to go on fun outings to break things up. For the most part, I'm really enjoying having them home and having more time as a family, but there are also times that I want to pull my hair out.

    Times when I don't feel like I should have to repeat steps over and over or micromanage them. Cue: job cards.

    I got this idea from my sister who created lists for each room in her home. If I remember correctly, she used clip boards for hers.

    I created a ring of cards, one card for each area of the house. The cards list each task that needs to be completed in that specific room. I'm a big list maker and am so much more productive when I can see everything that I need to do right in front of me. This is why my day planners and printable calendar pages are my best friends.

    It can be overwhelming walking into the kitchen after dinner and seeing a sink full of dishes, food on the counter and pots on the stove. These easy to follow cards help kids work their way through a room one small step at a time.

    None of these tasks involve deep cleaning, and the bathroom and bedroom referred to on the cards are the kids bathroom and their own bedrooms.
