Like most moms, I sometimes have a difficult time getting my kids to do their chores. I came up with a fun and exciting way to get them to do them (without fuss). I made each of my kids a "Chore List" for Monday through Saturday (we take Sunday's off). Once all chores on their list is completed, they get to go to the "Summer Fun" jar and pull out a card. On each card, i have written a fun activity that they get to do that day. Some of them read:
"Play in the sprinkler"
"Make puppets out of paper bags"
"Make birdfeeders out of Pine Cones, Peanut Butter, and Birdseed"
"Go to the movies"
"Make a pallet in the livingroom floor and watch a movie of your choice"
"Go to the playground'
"Have a picnic"
You could put just about anything on them! Have fun with it! The kids will get those chores done in a hurry! :)
Instructions for the Jar:
Get a plastic container (about $2.00 at Walmart) and pull out those scrapbooking stickers and supplies... Decorate it any way you want!
