Chore guide
Make a small repair at home
Fix 1 small thing: a loose screw, a wobbly handle, a squeaky door or a flat bike tire.
- 3 stars
- Ages 13 to 14
- Weekly
- Tidy and home
At 13 and 14, kids can learn small repairs: tighten a screw, oil a squeaky hinge, fix a bike tire or reattach a handle. Each one is a skill for life.
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
Repairing something builds confidence and teaches that broken things can often be fixed. It is also a good way to spend time together around a tool box.
Steps for kids
- Pick 1 repair from the family list.
- Find the right tool and look up how it is done.
- Do the repair slowly and carefully.
- Test that it works.
- Put the tools back in the box.
How to teach it by age
- Ages 11 to 12
They help a grown-up and hold the tools.
- Ages 13 to 14
They do simple repairs alone with a grown-up at home.
