Teen Morning and Evening Routine

What this sheet is for

When a teenager takes on their own morning and evening routine — including assigned household chores — a written chart removes the need for reminders. This sheet gives a 13-to-17-year-old a fixed sequence to follow each day, covering hygiene, meal cleanup, bedroom upkeep, and trash duty, all on one page they can post on their door or tuck into a planner.

How to use it

Write the teen's name on the name line at the top. The left column, Morning Routine, lists six steps in the order they should happen before leaving the house, starting with making the bed and ending with taking out the trash on pickup days. The right column, Evening Routine, covers after-dinner chores first, then hygiene and wind-down tasks. Under each column, the seven day boxes labeled 'Check off each day completed' let the teen check off every day they finish that full routine without skipping a step.

What is printed on the page

“Teen Morning and Evening Routine” is laid out as two routines: two routines side by side — morning on the left, bedtime on the right — six numbered steps each with a tick box, a name line at the top and a row of seven day boxes under each column. Under the title it reads “Daily self-care and household chores for teens ages 13–17”, and the line at the foot of the page says “Check each box as you finish the step — do not wait until the end of the day to mark the whole column.”.

The left steps slot holds six entries — “Make your bed completely”, “Shower and get dressed”, “Eat breakfast, rinse dish”, “Wipe down bathroom sink”, “Pack bag, check schedule” and “Take out trash if pickup day” — so the sheet is already filled in for chores rather than left as blank rows to label yourself.

The right steps slot holds six entries — “Clear and wipe dinner table”, “Load dishes into dishwasher”, “Shower or wash face”, “Set out clothes for tomorrow”, “Tidy bedroom floor and desk” and “Lights out by agreed time” — so the sheet is already filled in for chores rather than left as blank rows to label yourself.

The remaining labels on “Teen Morning and Evening Routine”, the chores sheet, are “Name” for the name label, “Morning Routine” for the left heading, “Evening Routine” for the right heading and “Check off each day completed” for the days label.

Two things about this particular two routines are settings rather than text, and “Teen Morning and Evening Routine” has them set like this. Day boxes is on: add seven day boxes under each column to tick the whole routine off daily. Numbered is on: number the steps.

Tips

Post the chart at eye level on the bedroom door so it is visible before leaving each morning and entering each night.

Agree on the trash pickup day in advance and fill it in on the chart so the morning step is never a surprise.

Review the seven day boxes together at the end of the week before printing a fresh sheet for the next week.
