"Around the Home" BINGO
Chores...
The word alone elicits and eye roll from my boys! I don't even have to say which chore, they just immediately groan. If I have learned anything from motivating these two in the past, it is that they enjoy games. We have incorporated them into meal time, shower time, homework time...

If there is a struggle with a task, it is not uncommon for a game or fun twist is made up on the spot. 

To keep the "chore thing"  simple and still fun, my oldest gave me the idea of a BINGO game. We are keeping the word "chores" out of it. It is called " Around the Home" BINGO. The BINGO card is filled with tasks the kids can help with around the house. Parents will need to decide what is earned for a BINGO ( allowance, sweet treat, one on one time, etc.) and the kids will be given the BINGO card. In our house, this card to is be completed over the course of a week. To keep things balanced, they can only complete one square a day. This keeps helpful moments coming throughout the week AND less rushing at the end of the week to squeeze all five into one day. 

You will find you free download below! I have included a copy of a card that has already been filled out and a blank one in which you can pencil in your own tasks and change them from week to week. 

Enjoy!
