Chore Wheel - Who Does What Tonight

What is a chore wheel?

A chore wheel is a spinner that picks one household job from a list everyone can see. This one is for who does what tonight. Open it on a kitchen tablet or phone, edit the chores for your home, and spin in under a minute. The result is the next job. No app to install.

Put the screen where people can watch. Delete anything that is not on tonight's list. Take turns spinning. If a job is too much for a younger kid, remove that slice before you start.

Each spin uses your browser's built-in secure random function (crypto.getRandomValues). Jobs still on the wheel have the same odds. Everyone can see the slices, so the pick is not a quiet choice from one person.

After a job lands, turn on Remove Winner so the next spin cannot repeat it. Tonight's list shrinks until the jobs are assigned. Add the chores back tomorrow.

The default list is indoor evening jobs such as dishes, trash, and vacuum. Edit it to match your home. This page does not print a week plan. For other family-friendly wheels, open Family-friendly templates or more Family and Kids wheels. Edit the list, then spin. Copy the wheel if you want the same chores tomorrow.

How to use this chore wheel

1. Open the wheel and review tonight's chores. Check the default jobs. Delete anything you are not doing tonight. Keep labels short so they read on a tablet.

2. Spin once. Click Spin so everyone can watch it stop. The result is the next job for the person whose turn it is.

3. Do the job, or skip and edit. If the job that lands does not fit that person tonight, skip this spin or change that slice, then continue. Do not pile on a punishment job.

4. Turn on Remove Winner, then pass the screen. Remove the assigned chore before the next person spins. Repeat until tonight's list is empty. Copy the wheel if you want this same list tomorrow.

When to use this wheel

After-dinner family spin

Dinner is done and the sink is full. Put a tablet on the counter, spin for dishes, trash, and tidy-up, and let the wheel pick so nobody has to assign it.

Roommates, shared space, tonight

Kitchen and living room need a pass before you call it a night. Agree on the shared jobs, spin in the same room, and write down who got what.

Two people, dishes vs trash

It is the same argument as last night. Load only the jobs that still need doing, spin once each, and move on.

Tips

• Keep 8 to 16 short chore labels. "Wash the dishes" reads better than a long sentence.

• Delete any job a kid cannot do before the first spin. Adults can run a second round for heavier work.

• Turn on Remove Winner so tonight's round does not repeat a chore.

• Use fullscreen on a kitchen tablet or phone so the result is easy to see.

• Bookmark or copy the wheel if you reuse this list. It does not print a week plan or send reminders.

• If someone cannot do the job that landed, skip that spin or edit the slice. Do not swap in a humiliating task.
