Kaeleigh and Maylyn are each responsible for 4 things. (They're little, I didn't really feel like it needed to get much more complicated than that.) When they do their chore they will earn a coin for that day. I look at this as also teaching them about the value of money, which coin is which, the names and so on.
1. Bedroom-They share a room so it should be easy, right? Get it clean twice as fast? Ha ha.
2. Individual chore- Kaeleigh helps clear the table/Maylyn picks up Jake's dog toys in the living room.
3. PUP- Wednesday nights are Pick Up Poop night. You want to have a pet, you have to help take care of it. They've each got their own pair of rubber gloves and actually think it's fun! Wait til they're older!
4. Good Behavior- Not really a chore, but if they can keep their butts out of the time-out chair all day then they earn their coin.
Once I got it all straight I went to Kinkos to print out the chart and have it laminated. Then the husband went to Lowes and got me a sheet of metal that I covered with contact paper and glued the chart to. Finally, I went to Walmart and bought fake plastic coins and hot glued them to little magnets.
LOVE the coins idea! Teaches them math and identification of currency...Great idea!
