Chores are dealt out evenly. With more than one week, the chore groups rotate so nobody keeps the same chores. Your lists are saved only on this device.
Random Chore Generator
Who does the dishes this week? This free Random Chore Generator ends that argument. Add the names, add the chores, and the tool deals the chores out evenly and at random, so nobody can say it is unfair. Plan up to four weeks with a rotation, or switch to Pick one chore for a quick “chore of the day”. It works for families, kids, roommates and classrooms, and there is no sign-up.
How to use the Random Chore Generator
- Type the names in the People box, one per line or separated by commas.
- Write your chores, one per line. Or choose a ready-made list: Family home, Kids chores, Roommates or Classroom jobs.
- Choose how many weeks to plan (1 to 4).
- Tap Assign chores. The tool shuffles the names and chores and deals the chores out evenly.
- Tap Copy plan to paste it into a family chat, or Shuffle again for a new draw.
- Want just one chore? Switch to Pick one chore and tap the button. Tick the box to avoid repeats until every chore has been used.
How the chores are shared out
The tool shuffles the list of chores and the list of people with a fair random method (the Fisher-Yates shuffle). Then it deals the chores one by one around the group, like cards. That means the number of chores per person never differs by more than one. If you have fewer chores than people, some people get “No chore” that week.
With a plan of more than one week, the bundles of chores rotate. In week 2 each person takes the bundle of the next person, and so on, so nobody is stuck with the same job every week. If you have more people than weeks, plan again after the last week to keep rotating.

- Mix easy and hard chores. Split big jobs like the bathroom into smaller pieces, so the shuffle does not give one person all the hard work.
- Match chores to age. Use the Kids chores list for ages about 5 to 10, and adjust it for your family.
- Agree before the shuffle. Decide together that the result is final. A random draw only works if everyone accepts it.
- Keep it short. A weekly plan is easier to follow than a monthly one. Repeat the draw every Sunday.
- Praise the effort. A kind word after a finished chore does more than a reward chart.
- Big group project? First split a group into teams, then give each team its own chore list. To settle who chooses first, try Who Goes First.

Frequently asked questions
Is the chore assignment really random?
Yes. The tool uses your browser’s secure random number generator (Web Crypto) and the Fisher-Yates shuffle, so every possible assignment has the same chance.
Can I plan more than one week?
Yes. Choose 1 to 4 weeks. The chores rotate so each person gets a different bundle each week.
What if I have more chores than people?
The extra chores are dealt out evenly, so some people get two or three. The difference between any two people is never more than one chore.
What if I have more people than chores?
Some people get “No chore” for that week. In a multi-week plan, the free weeks rotate too, so the same person is not always the one without a chore.
Can kids use it?
Yes. Choose the Kids chores list and let children press the button themselves. It makes chores feel like a game instead of an order.
Can I use it in a classroom?
Yes. The Classroom jobs list covers common roles such as line leader and board eraser. Change the names every week.
