Spin & Pick

Chore Wheel

Load the chores and spin once per person, or load the people and spin once per chore. Either way, nobody chose.

  • Dishes
  • Vacuum
  • Take out the bins
  • Clean the bathroom
  • Laundry
  • Cook dinner
  • Mop the kitchen
  • Water the plants

How people use the chore wheel

A chore wheel ends the negotiation. Load the week’s chores, and each person spins in turn; remove-the-winner is on so every chore goes to exactly one person. Or flip it: load the housemates and spin once for each chore. Families, flatshares and classrooms use the same wheel.

Weight the big jobs so they count for more, or split them: "Clean the bathroom" and "Clean the kitchen" as separate slices makes for a fairer round than one "Cleaning".

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers to what teachers, hosts and streamers ask us most

How do I make sure everyone gets the same number of chores?

Spin in strict rotation: person A, B, C, then A again. With remove-the-winner on, chores never repeat and each round of spins gives everyone one.

Can I save our chore list?

Copy link to this wheel and bookmark it. The link holds the list.

Can I weight a horrible chore so it is worth two?

Weights change how often a chore is picked, not its value. Instead, list the worst chore once and two easy ones together on one line ("Bins + plants").
