This free Jobs I Do at Home worksheet is a child friendly activity sheet that helps children, kids and young people think about the jobs and chores they do at home. The printable PDF shows a wide range of household tasks, including cleaning, cooking, caring for siblings, washing up, recycling, gardening and helping with pets. Children can circle the pictures or use the blank space to write or draw their own ideas, which makes it suitable for different ages and abilities.
The second page, My No Thank You Chores, gives children space to share which tasks they find difficult or do not enjoy. This supports honest communication about feelings, emotions, behaviour, routines and family life. The colourful illustrations on this page help younger children take part more easily.
This worksheet is also helpful when exploring concerns about neglect or abuse. It can show whether a child is expected to do too many jobs, unsafe tasks or responsibilities that are not appropriate for their age. In assessment work it can highlight possible worries such as excessive caring responsibilities, emotional pressure, lack of adult support, unsafe home environments or signs that a child may be taking on adult roles. It gives children a safe way to share what they do each day, which is important when assessing wellbeing, safeguarding and the child’s lived experience.
This resource is suitable for parents, carers, teachers, social workers, early help teams and other professionals. It can be used during direct work, assessments, wellbeing sessions, behaviour support or family discussions. It supports open conversations about routines, life skills, responsibilities and home life.
This downloadable PDF is ideal for anyone searching for chore printables, household jobs worksheets, kids activity sheets, emotional wellbeing tools, communication worksheets or resources that support safeguarding and assessment in the home.
