Family Chore Wheel
Spin a chore for each family member, filtered by the minimum age you set per chore, with no two people getting the same chore this week. The week's assignments save into the page link.
Built by the AbraCalc team
How to play
- List family members as "Name, age" and chores as "Chore, minimum age" — age is optional on both.
- Tap Spin This Week's Chores to begin; the oldest family member spins first.
- Tap Spin for Next Person each time — the wheel only shows chores that person is old enough for and that haven't been taken yet this week.
- Once everyone has a chore, tap Copy Save Link to keep this week's assignments, or New Week to reroll everyone.
Family Chore Wheel takes chore assignment out of a parent's hands and puts it on a spinning wheel instead. List each family member with their age and every chore with the minimum age it's appropriate for, and the tool spins one chore per person, oldest family member first, drawing only from chores that person is old enough for and that haven't already gone to someone else this week — so an eight-year-old never lands vacuuming duty meant for a twelve-year-old, and nobody doubles up on the same job. Every spin's result appears in a running list below the wheel, and the entire week's assignments are packed into the page's own link as you go, so bookmarking the page or tapping Copy Save Link lets you reopen that exact in-progress week later on the same device. New Week rerolls everyone fresh whenever it's time to start over.
Frequently asked questions
- Can two family members end up with the same chore in one week?
- No — each spin removes that chore from the pool for the rest of the week, so once a chore is assigned to someone it can't come up again for anyone else until New Week rerolls everyone.
- How does the age weighting actually work?
- Each chore has a minimum age you set, and the wheel for each person only ever includes chores at or below that person's age; family members spin oldest-first so younger members' more limited pool is never crowded out early by chores they weren't eligible for anyway.
- Does the tool remember chore assignments between browser sessions?
- The current week's assignments are saved into the page's own web address, so tapping Copy Save Link (or bookmarking the page, since the address updates itself) gives you a link that reopens that exact in-progress week — nothing is stored on a server or in browser storage.
