Chore guide
Vacuum your room
Vacuum the floor of your room, corners too.
- 3 stars
- Ages 8 to 12
- Weekly
- Tidy and home
Children aged 8 and up can vacuum their own room, especially with a light cordless vacuum. Younger kids can help by clearing the floor first.
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
Vacuuming is a satisfying chore with a visible result, and it shows kids that a clean room takes more than putting toys away.
Steps for kids
- Pick up everything on the floor.
- Turn on the vacuum.
- Push it slowly in lines across the floor.
- Do the corners and under the bed.
- Turn it off and put it away.
