The Kids' Chore Charts

Again in the spirit of that wonderful combination of ego and voyeurism that brings us all things BLOG, I will share with you my current kids' chore charts, for the two old enough to be useful in these matters.

BEN (8):

Before Breakfast

• Say Prayers
• Make Bed
• Empty Dishwasher
• Brush Teeth
• Water Garden

Before Dinner

• Living Room
• Practice Piano
• Take Out Recycling

After Dinner

• Clean High Chair (& floor around it) (You'll see I'm a big fan of "paying it forward" on this site)
• Brush Teeth & Shower
• Read Scriptures
• Say Prayers

SOPHIE (6):

Morning

• Say Prayers
• Make Bed
• Brush Teeth
• Empty Silverware

Before Dinner

• Practice Piano
• Dining Room
• Cubbies & Stairs
• Clean Room
• Front Yard

After Dinner

• Clear Table
• Brush Teeth
• Read Scriptures
• Say Prayers

Ideally, in true "enforcement mode" I offer breakfast when (withhold until) morning chores are done, I announce the commencement of before-dinner chores when I start dinner, and the commencement of after-dinner chores when dinner is over. Of course, all this requires that regular meals are being served to the family, which is a whole nother matter.
