Every summer I like to come up with some way for the kids to be rewarded for their chores, which I think makes them a little happier about doing them, and then they feel like they have earned something through work. So this summer this is what I came up with. We have a weekly chore chart. Every day when they finish their chores they get to mark them off with a sticker, and then they pick a treat out of the treat jar.
Then at the end of the week if they fill their chore chart with stickers I am going to give them a coupon for a fun activity that we will do sometime the next week.
The ultimate prize for chores this summer is a Lagoon trip. So eveyday they finish their chores they will put a sticker on a day towards going to Lagoon. There are a little over 50 week days this summer. Then at the end of the summer when they fill the Lagoon chart we will take them to Lagoon as their reward for doing chores through the summer.
These kinds of things work so well with our kids. This way they learn how to work with a positive reward, and they feel like they have earned things through their hard work. Just wanted to share something that has worked in our house.
