This is my first Work For Me Wednesday.
Which of rocks in my dryer does.
When my boys where young and we would draw out of bowl chores to do.
They and sometime I would write out special chores that could be done around the place. Then I would set a number each person could draw for it was usual 3 each.
But majority of the time I let them draw one at time and once that chore was done they could draw for anther chore.
Make sure it age prorate chores when doing the drawing.
I even included my self in it.
Here few of the chores that could be included.
1. Pick up 5 sticks from the yard and put it in the trash
2. Sweep stairs leading into the house.
3. Wipe off door knob to laundry room
4. Wipe off top of washer machine
5. Wipe front of microwave
One thing I wouldn’t let the boys do if they got a chore they didn’t want to do I wouldn’t let them throw that chore back in and draw something they prefer doing.
They had fun drawing and got the chore done so they could draw anther one. When they help write out chores it made them think “what can be done around the place” ,everyone living in home is responsible in taking care of it and also it teaches them sometime in life things needs to be done and it might not always be fun
Part of Rocks In My Dryer is that she gives away things and right now she giving a way Prim and proper sign Sharon got all the detail for you to enter the drawing
