Chores bingo at a glance

Chores bingo as a called game

For a one-session version, draw the 42 tasks at random like a classic game. 150 shuffled orders on this set's first 60 cards: with 30 players the first line comes after a median 12 calls (about 2 minutes at 10 seconds a call); a blackout needs 38.

How to play Chores bingo

1. 1

   Print the Chores cards

   Give each player one card; a free set prints up to 30, no two alike. Card 1 above starts with “Empty the dishwasher”, “Fold laundry”, “Rake leaves”, “Wipe the counters” and “Mow the lawn”.

2. 2

   Agree on the time frame

   Each player marks a square once it is done, such as “Wipe the counters” or “Fold laundry”. Set the period first (a week, a month, a season); a line needs 5 squares (4 on a line through the free center) and a full card all 24.

3. 3

   Make separate cards for each child with a new seed and remove jobs that are too hard, such as “Mow the lawn” for a five-year-old.

4. 4

   Agree on a reward for a line before you start, for example choosing Friday's dinner, so “Scrub the tub” feels worth the effort.

5. 5

   Picture squares like “Feed the pet” and “Match the socks” let pre-readers play by themselves on a 3x3 card.

6. 6

   Check the card

   Ask the winner what they did for each square on the line. A full card is 24 of the 42 tasks; card 1 of this set, for example, includes “Empty the dishwasher” and “Fold laundry”.

Chores bingo variations

• Chores variation

  Weekend blitz: set a one-hour timer on Saturday morning; the family works as a team to mark as many squares as possible, and every completed line adds ten minutes to the afternoon outing.

• Blackout round

  Card 1 needs all 24 tasks, “Empty the dishwasher” to “Water the plants”; over a 30-day month that is about 5.6 tasks a week.

• Picture bingo for pre-readers

  Use 3x3 cards with the 14 entries that have a symbol, such as Make the bed, Sweep the floor and Take out the trash.

First 15 entries on the Chores caller sheet

Seed "chores" gives this order, the same one the caller sheet prints (use it as a checklist, or call from it). With these entries in this order, card 17 of the first 30 completes the G column (“Wash the car”, “Put away clothes”, “Walk the dog”, “Load the dishwasher” and “Clear the table”) on entry 9, and card 8 is the first full card on entry 40.

Ranked by category, occasion and audience; none of them repeats an entry from this list, so pasting two into the Edit words box gives a longer game.
