Chore guide
Do the yard work
Rake, weed, sweep or mow the yard, or tidy the balcony, as the season needs.
- 3 stars
- Ages 13 to 14
- Weekly
- Outdoor and pets
At 13 and 14, kids can look after the yard, the garden or a balcony: rake the leaves, pull weeds, sweep the paths, water the plants and, after training, mow the lawn.
Try this week with your kids
Noki suggests a first week of quests and rewards for your kids. You change what you like before you start.
Why it matters
Outdoor work is real, visible help and a good break from screens. It also teaches how plants and seasons work.
Steps for kids
- Pick the job of the week with a grown-up.
- Put on gloves and get the tools.
- Do the job from 1 end to the other.
- Collect the waste in bags or the compost.
- Clean the tools and put them away.
How to teach it by age
- Ages 11 to 12
They rake, weed and water with you.
- Ages 13 to 14
They do the weekly yard job alone, mowing only after training.
