Forever Fun #1

Have you ever wondered how you can get your kids excited about doing their daily jobs/chores? We implemented this concept several months ago, and it is still holding strong! Each month the kids have their one big chore they are in charge of. My kids are quite young, so the jobs are relatively simple and achievable. I do it monthly, but you could modify it to weekly if you desire. If they accomplish their job each day during the month, without complaining, they earn a "mystery motivater". The mystery motivater is kept in an envelope beside the job chart. Inside the envelope is the prize. . .which varies from going out for ice cream to going on a family outing like the park or swimming etc. You certainly can modify this to your family's ages and likes, but it's worth trying if you need some fun motivation in family household responsibilites.
