Chores for 9 year olds

9 year olds may feel they can do anything, they’d probably help fix the roof if you let them! (We don’t advise this!) But in terms of more age-appropriate chores, you can start with them getting a bit more adventurous – perhaps taking the dog for a walk or clearing the leaves in the back yard..
