What can we use if we don't have sticky notes, a timer, or crewmate stickers?

Use index cards or paper taped to the wall for sticky notes (steps 3–4), a phone or kitchen timer for the timer (step 6), and a colored bandana, clothespin, or cut paper badge as your crewmate prop (step 5).

What should we do if we forget which room has which chore or the child keeps running out of time?

Take a photo of the drawn map and put a small colored tape marker on each door to match the sticky notes (steps 2–4), and if a kid times out on a sticky note (step 9) offer a single 30‑second extension or split the chore into two shorter timed tasks and lower the point value accordingly.

How can we adapt the game for different ages?

For preschoolers pick very simple chores with longer time limits and parental help at the starting spot (steps 3, 6, 7), while older kids can use more rooms on the map, harder chores, shorter timers, and bonus point multipliers for speed (steps 2, 3, 6).

How can we extend or personalize the crewmate chore game?

Add an 'impostor' role with small penalties, design homemade crewmate badges or props (step 5), require a quick photo as proof for each completed room to post on DIY.org (final step), and create a leaderboard with bonus-task sticky notes on the map for extra points.

Facts about chore games for kids

⏱ Short tasks of about 5–10 minutes fit kids' attention spans and match the quick mini-tasks in Among Us.

🏆 Adding points and small rewards for chores builds teamwork and routine — kids love seeing a leaderboard!

🚀 Among Us was created by indie studio InnerSloth and released in 2018, then became a viral hit in 2020.

🧹 Turning chores into playful challenges (timed tasks, points, roles) makes helping at home feel like a game.

🧑‍🚀 In the game, crewmates complete simple tasks while impostors try to sabotage — a perfect idea to turn chores into missions.

How do you play "Do Chores On Among Us"?

Turn household chores into Among Us tasks by making a simple checklist of short jobs (wipe table, sort socks, water plants). Assign a point value and set a timer for each task. Kids pretend to be crewmates, complete timed tasks, and check them off. Keep score, celebrate successes, and optionally introduce a parent as the “imposter” who gives extra challenges or gentle penalties. Rotate roles and reset the list for another round.

What materials do I need for Do Chores On Among Us?

You need a printed or handwritten chore checklist, a timer or phone, pens or stickers for marking completed tasks, simple cleaning supplies (cloth, broom, spray bottle), and small rewards or stickers for points. Optional props: colored paper or paper visors to play crewmate, a whiteboard for scores, and safe household items for tasks. Keep materials age-appropriate and non-toxic for young children.

What ages is this activity suitable for?

This game works for ages about 3–12 with adjustments. Preschoolers (3–5) can do very simple, supervised tasks like picking up toys; use shorter timers and more guidance. School-age kids (6–9) handle timed chores and scorekeeping independently. Older kids (10–12) can design tasks, set rules, and manage points. Always supervise activities that use cleaning products or require climbing and tailor difficulty to each child’s ability.

What are the benefits of playing Do Chores On Among Us?

This activity turns chores into play, boosting motivation, responsibility, and task-following. Timed tasks build time-management and focus, while scoring encourages goal-setting and basic math skills. Role-play supports imagination and social skills when siblings cooperate or take turns being an “imposter.” It also reduces chore resistance by making cleaning fun, and gives parents a playful way to teach routines and independence.
