Jobs by Number a Versatile Job Chart

June 25, 2016 By: Amycomment

Jobs by NumberAre your kids at the point where their schedules differ enough that set job charts aren’t working?  Try having a versatile chart we call “Jobs by Number.”  You create a list of all the regular jobs that need to happen at your house and assign each job a number.  Here is an example:

Jobs by Number…….

You slide each child’s daily chart into a sheet protector in a binder.  Then you simply write the assigned “number” of the job to do on your child’s daily chart using a dry erase marker.

It is a bit of mystery what job #6 is as the child flips back to the main list of jobs included at the front of the binder. Here is a blank chart: blank weekly chart

This method helps us.  I take a few moments each morning and look at our calendar.  I can quickly see what needs to happen and what kind of jobs we can do with the time available.   It also works well to prepare for the days ahead. A child may need to get their wash finished earlier than usual to get to a camp or you may have company coming and need to wash sheets. “The only thing constant is change” so make your job chart able to accept the changes that come with families!
