Chores were always boring! They don’t have to be. If your kid has a messy room, make it fun.
- Get a stop watch. As fast as you can, pick up the dirty clothes and make a pile on the floor somewhere opposite the door. Also, pick up the clean clothes and make a pile on the bed. Say something like, “I bet you can’t put your clothes in a pile in under 1 minute…” and usually kids like to prove you are wrong.
- Next, put the dirty clothes basket in the doorway. Play a hooping game. When your kid makes the basket, you do 1 burpee. When he/she misses the basket, he does 1 burpee.
- How about the clean clothes. UHG! BORING! Make it fun! Why don’t you pitch in and have a folding contest! If there’s enough clean clothes, share the responsibility. Your kid will respect you for helping them, and they’ve already done most of the work. If there are only a couple shirts and a couple pants, find some clean laundry in your bedroom that could be folded.
- Find the toy basket. Count how many toys you and your toddler can pick up in 30 seconds. Wow! The room will get clean super-fast!
- Got a lot of books on the floor? Sing their favorite song, and see if the books can be put away by the time you’re finished.
- Are there tons of colorful Legos scattered in your living room? Get your stop watch and count how long it takes to pick up the green ones. Can he/she pick up the blue ones faster? Or, delegate colors to your entire family for help.
