Chore Charts
I have been having my kids do chores every morning and night for a long time. Lately, I have noticed the same argument morning and night. "Did you make your bed?, Did you clean your room", etc. I decided to take pictures of the kids doing their jobs and then paste the pictures on poster board. Next to the picture I have typed the chore and then placed a velcro piece where they place their graphic after they have completed it. Wow!! It has been working amazing:) They love the pictures of themselves and they take such pride in completing it. It has also given them independence. They no longer need Mommy nagging... Whew!! Thank Goodness!!

This is a great idea!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great idea!!!! Especially the pictures of themselves!!!!! So once they complete it do they put the firetruck or butterfly next to their chore? If so do they get a reward at the end of the day or week?
ReplyDeletelove the chore charts!! I am about to begin making some for my kids; thanks for the ideas!
ReplyDeleteGonna copy your program, Elsie. I've never used chore charts because I couldn't find any I liked and that weren't so darn complicated. If it befuddled me, how could I expect little ones to use it! The idea of putting photos of the children actually doing the chore in question gives the perfect finishing touch!!! How big are the chart boards -- they look laminated so I'm wondering if they had to be done at a teacher's supply store or you did them with clear contact paper. Also, do you think older kids, like my 10 yo, should have more like five or six things on their chart and then have three or four for Wells (age 5)?
