Your Task List in KiddyCash
Your task list is your personal to-do board inside KiddyCash. Every chore your parent or guardian has assigned to you shows up here, along with what you need to do and how much you will earn when you finish. Think of it like a small job board — complete the task, get paid into your KiddyCash wallet.
What Is a Task?
A task (also called a chore) is a job created by a parent or guardian and assigned to you. It could be something like washing dishes, sweeping the compound, or finishing homework. When you mark a task complete and your parent approves it, the reward amount moves into your wallet automatically.
If you are curious about how tasks get created in the first place, read how a parent creates a task for a child.

- Your full task list opens. You will see every active chore waiting for you.
What You See on the Task List
Each row on your task list shows the following information:
| Column | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Task name | The name of the chore your parent set, for example “Take out the rubbish” |
| Reward | How much you earn when the task is approved — shown in KES or your family’s chosen currency |
| Due date | The deadline for finishing the task |
| Status | Whether the task is Pending, Submitted, or Approved |
| Badge | Some tasks award a badge when completed — a small trophy icon shows if one is attached |
Understanding Task Statuses
- Pending — The task has been assigned to you but you have not submitted it yet.
- Submitted — You have marked the task as done and are waiting for your parent to review it.
- Approved — Your parent confirmed the task is complete. The reward has been added to your wallet.

Why Tasks and Earning Matter
Every task you complete is a small step toward building real money habits. Whether you are saving for airtime in Nairobi, a new book, or something bigger, the discipline of earning through effort is the foundation. The article why saving habits matter most when learned young explains the science behind starting early. If you want a practical guide on what to do with the money you earn, how to teach saving step by step without the lectures is a great next read.
Quick Tips
- Check your task list every morning so you do not miss a deadline.
- If a task looks wrong — wrong reward amount or wrong name — ask your parent to fix it before you submit.
- Tasks that are overdue do not disappear automatically. Ask your parent whether you can still complete them.
- Earning badges on tasks boosts your KiddyCash profile and shows your progress over time.
