Takes turns
Assign a chore to several kids and choose Takes turns. The chore rotates through them in the order you list, one occurrence at a time: Emma on Monday, Leo on Tuesday, Maya on Wednesday, Emma again on Thursday. The editor shows who is next and when. Archive a kid and the rotation closes the gap without rewriting history — past chores keep the name of who did them.
Up for grabs
Choose Up for grabs and the chore sits on a shelf every kid can see. The first one to claim it gets it — and the wool. If two kids claim the same chore on two devices while offline, the earlier claim wins when they sync and the other is quietly undone. Autonomy is one of the few things research says keeps kids motivated after the novelty fades; letting them pick is cheap and it works.
Together
Choose Together for the playroom that takes everyone. One chore appears on every chosen kid's board with a Together chip; whoever taps We did it! finishes it for the team, each kid earns the reward, and the parent sees it once in the inbox with everyone's name — one check covers the whole team. Timed goals can be team goals too, sharing one clock.
Fixed, for the rest
Most chores are simply someone's. Fixed assignment puts a chore on one or more kids' boards every time it comes round, each kid independently — the same “Make the bed” for two kids is two chores to finish and two rewards to earn.
The fairness report
Reports › Fairness lists, per chore and per kid, how many times it was assigned and how many times it was done over the period you pick. When a rotation feels lopsided, the table says whether it is.
Grown-ups too
Put a parent on the board without wool or money and the kids see that the recycling is Dad's on Thursdays. Grown-ups appear on the calendar and the fridge chart and stay out of the money and reward lists.
Different pay for different ages: a shared chore pays the same for everyone, but a kid's allowance and their own jobs can differ. Pay hints in the editor show the typical range by age.
Questions
Can one kid be excused from a shared chore for a day?
Yes. Open the chore on the calendar and skip it with a reason; it counts as kept for the streak and waives any penalty. The rotation continues as scheduled.
What if the kid whose turn it is cannot do it?
Reassign that day from the calendar sheet, or let a sibling finish an up-for-grabs copy. Reports keep the record either way.
Does a team chore pay each kid?
Yes. One tap finishes it for everyone and each team member earns the chore's wool or money. Approval, if the chore needs it, is one check for the whole team.
