Tips
Keeping December calm
Small festive rewards
Choosing the Christmas film, hot chocolate by the tree or putting the star on top. Keep presents out of it.
Give to others
Add one kind job: sorting old toys for a charity shop or making a card for a neighbour.
Keep it short
Four or five jobs is plenty in a busy month. Swap one after the school holidays start.
Questions parents ask
When should we start a Christmas chore chart?
Start on 1 December so it runs alongside the advent calendar, or the first day of the school holidays if December is already busy.
What festive chores can kids do?
Helping decorate, writing cards and thank-you notes, wrapping, setting the table for visitors, sorting old toys for charity and helping with the baking.
Should Christmas chores earn presents?
We’d keep presents out of it. Small festive rewards work better: choosing the Christmas film, an extra story, hot chocolate by the tree or putting the star on top.
