Today we started the "CHORE CHART!" I have been wanting to start one with the kids, but had to decide just how I wanted it done. I knew they would not be able to read, I decided to pick what chores they are able to do and do the chart with all pictures. Here is the finished product.
They also picked out their own "buckets" to hold their money in. (they do not know they are little trash cans...kinda symbolic of "throwing your money away") They decorated them with stickers.
The chores are -cleaning your room, using the sweeper on the carpet, feeding the dog, helping with a load of laundry, cleaning and sweeping up back porch and helping mom clean the church. Each chore has a picture and then a picture of what they will earn. The kids were so excited to "EARN MONEY".
I thought we would have each child choose one chore to do. But the kids were so excited, they wanted to do more. (I am sure in a few days this excitement will wear off) Hannah did 2 chores, and was done. Ben was all about making the money!! He did all the chores he could until they were all done, INCLUDING cleaning his sisters room! It was so great to hear him say "mom I want to clean my room!!!" Here are my little worker bees!
Here is Ben and Dad looking to see what he earned.
And Ben checking out his money!

Awesome! We had chore cards for awhile... they worked for... well, awhile... I need to work on the follow through!!!
I loved this post. I have been trying to find a good chore chart for weeks. I have older kids and I have many of them so its hard to find a chart that would incorporate all of the kids without printing up many charts. UGG!! I love yours...its perfect for your kids. :)
