Four small pieces. One doable task.
An executive function printable for kids, in card form: four small pieces that turn one abstract responsibility into a concrete, achievable quest.
-
1
A deck.
Every card belongs to one of 5 quest decks, like Grass Block for tidying or Chest for laundry, so kids can see the whole collection they're working through.
-
2
A Quest Guide.
A Minecraft mob paired with every card, like Panda who "loves to help out" or Llama who "carries loads without complaining." A little personality that makes the task feel less like a chore.
-
3
The quest itself.
One small, concrete, achievable task, like "Make your bed" or "Match 10 pairs of socks." Never "clean your room." Always something with a clear beginning and end.
-
4
A card ID.
So kids can track, trade, and collect them, the same way they would collect anything else worth keeping.
House Quest Cards aren't another chore chart. They're a collection of executive functioning tools disguised as collectible quest cards that kids actually want to use. Most chore systems focus on getting a task done. House Quest Cards focus on helping children build the skills they'll use for the rest of their lives. Because confidence grows one success at a time.
Every quest is practicing something bigger
Task Initiation
Starting without getting stuck.
Planning
Knowing where to begin.
Follow-Through
Finishing what you started.
Responsibility
Contributing to your home.
Flexible Thinking
Adjusting when plans change.
Spoon Theory
Recognizing your energy.
Body Doubling
Using another person's presence to make starting easier.
Confidence
Growing through successful experiences.
🥄 Did you know? Spoon Theory
Many neurodivergent people describe energy using Spoon Theory. Every task uses physical, mental, and emotional energy. Some days we wake up with more spoons than others.
House Quest Cards help children begin recognizing: "I have the energy to do this now." That awareness builds planning, self-awareness, and independence.
🤝 Did you know? Body Doubling
Working alongside another person often makes it easier to:
- Start
- Stay focused
- Finish
That's why many families enjoy doing House Quests together.

40 cards across 5 quest decks
Each deck has its own Minecraft mob guides cheering kids on, 8 quests per deck.
Grass Block
Emerald
Wolf Paw
Chest
Water Bucket
Three ways to use House Quest Cards
There isn't one right way to use these cards. Every family is different. Choose the ideas that work best for your child, and don't be afraid to make them your own. Three simple formats turn the same 40 cards into three different executive function games for kids.
🎲 Random Draw
Shuffle the cards and let your child draw one at random. One quest is often all it takes to build momentum.
⏱ Saturday Quest Rush
Set a timer for 15 minutes. Turn on your favorite music. Everyone draws a card and works together until the timer ends.
Practicing Body Doubling⭐ Earn It Back
If a house rule is broken, a child can earn back their privileges by completing one House Quest Card. This shifts the focus to them being in control of earning their privileges back.
Practicing Using SpoonsRotate between them based on your child's needs, your goals, and the rhythm of your family's week.

Hi, I'm Victoria.
I'm a Special Education Teacher, Creative Arts Therapist, and Neurodivergent Specialist who has spent nearly two decades helping neurodivergent kids build confidence, friendships, and executive functioning skills.
Over the years, I noticed something important. Neurodivergent kids often learn best when they're actively involved in the learning process. Give them a science experiment to run, something to build, an art project to create, or a challenge to solve, and you'll often see curiosity take over. They become engaged, ask thoughtful questions, stay focused, and remember what they've learned because they experienced it.
But when learning feels disconnected from real life or doesn't capture their interest, getting started can feel much harder.
For adults, that might look like data tracking, visual systems, and practical homework that turns insight into lasting change. For kids, it might look like practicing friendship and communication skills while building together in Minecraft, or strengthening executive functioning through House Quest Cards at home.
The goal is always the same: creating meaningful experiences that spark curiosity, build confidence through success, and help neurodivergent individuals develop skills they can carry into everyday life.

Special Ability: Level Up Learning
Creates meaningful learning experiences that help neurodivergent kids build confidence, friendships, and executive functioning skills.
Passive Ability: Finds the Fun

Mission
Helping neurodivergent kids discover what they're capable of, one meaningful experience at a time.
House Quests build the skills. This program builds the friendships.
The House Quest Starter Pack wasn't created as a chore system. It was inspired by the same teaching philosophy used inside the Minecraft Social Development Program: neurodivergent kids learn best by doing. House Quest Cards bring that philosophy into everyday life. The Minecraft Social Development Program brings it into friendships. Different environment. Same philosophy.
Watch Victoria explain how the Minecraft Social Development Program works.
New Transitions, Friendship & Leadership
For kids navigating something new or hard: a move, a new school, a divorce, a diagnosis, or just limited peer opportunities. Builds connection, confidence, and leadership.
See full curriculum →Social Skills & Friendship Foundations
For kids who want friendship but struggle when play gets loud, flexible, or unpredictable. Practices compromise, conversation, boundaries, and staying connected after conflict.

Victoria does an excellent job keeping the kids on track and working with them to navigate strong feelings appropriately. It's the first activity I signed him up for that he does not try to get out of going."

Executive function printables, answered
What are good executive function activities for kids?
Activities that break a task into one small, concrete step work best, things like matching socks, wiping a counter, or making a bed. House Quest Cards turn 40 of these small executive function activities into a collectible deck kids draw from, so practicing task initiation and follow-through feels like a game instead of a lecture.
Are chore cards a good option for kids with ADHD?
Yes. Kids with ADHD often know what they're supposed to do but struggle to start. Chore cards break a task into something small enough to begin right now, and the collectible format adds a bit of novelty and momentum that a static chore chart doesn't.
What's a good chore chart alternative for autistic kids?
A chore chart lists everything at once, which can feel overwhelming. House Quest Cards work as an autism chore chart alternative because each card holds exactly one task, paired with a specific Minecraft mob guide, so a child can focus on one clear, concrete quest instead of a whole list.
Is this executive functioning printable good for homeschool families?
Yes. Homeschool routines often mean kids are practicing independence and responsibility at home more than in a typical classroom. House Quest Cards give homeschool families a simple, printable way to build task initiation, planning, and follow-through into everyday life, without adding another worksheet to the day.
Does this work for military families dealing with frequent moves?
Deployments, PCS moves, and new routines can all make it harder for a child to stay consistent with responsibilities at home. Because House Quest Cards are printable and don't depend on a specific school, therapist, or location, they travel with the family and give kids something steady to return to wherever they land next.
Can executive function practice actually feel like a game?
That's the idea behind House Quest Cards. Instead of "clean your room," a child draws a card, sees a Minecraft mob cheering them on, and completes one small quest. Random Draw, Saturday Quest Rush, and Earn It Back turn the same 40 tasks into three different games, so the practice stays fresh.
What life skills do neurodivergent kids build with these cards?
Task initiation, planning, follow-through, responsibility, flexible thinking, and self-awareness around energy and readiness, what Spoon Theory describes. Every quest is small on purpose, so each success builds toward the next one.
