Chore Charts: free printables + great ideas

The following post is from Jamie of See Jamie Blog:

There’s probably no perfect plan for getting kids to do chores because there’s no perfect kid (or parent!). But having some sort of system for chores is a step in the right direction, and charts can help keep things organized and even make it fun.
