Chore Chart

Dolores Umbridge : Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix

I loved the Harry Potter series until this movie, it is because of this character.

Overtime I ask my kids to do their chores and they don't listen and I have to ask a second time, and all I can hear is "I need order".

So, I decided to make a chore chart using a few clip boards, paper, magic erase markers and these amazing things I found on Amazon. 

They're reusable page covers that come in a packages of 10. They are stitched around the outside and are colored.  I have always color coded my boys one is red and one is green, which in turn works perfectly for my chore charts. 

I have chores for the weekdays that include normal day to day things such as dishes, making beds, etc. Then I have a chore of the day that focuses more on particular room in the home. For example I have KITCHEN setup for Monday. This includes cleaning up and washing the counter tops, scrubbing and disinfecting the sinks, wiping off appliances, washing floor. In this chore of the day one child gets the bolded items and the other child gets the other ones and kitchen gets repeated on Friday. On Friday they switch chores so one isn't always washing the floors and one isn't always washing the counter tops.
Once they are completed for the day we can cross the day off in dry erase markers. if both charts are marked off they are able to get the code for the Internet password for their electronics.

I am super excited about these pages. Hopefully no more whining about their chores.....well we can hope!
