Use of "nor"

Hi, is this use of 'nor' correct?

He didn't play soccer nor played tennis yesterday.

I think this is correct.

He didn't do his homework nor did he wash his clothes.

No, that sounds awkward. Maybe, “He did neither homework nor clothes washing. He didn’t do anything.” Or, “He neither washed his clothes nor did he do his homework. He did nothing.” “he didn’t do anything, neither homework nor clothes,” might be acceptable, assuming what he’s not doing to the clothes is understood.
