I too would love to see pictures of what you’ve done Andrea. And thank you Wardeh for sharing what you and Traci did. I’m excited to set this up for my kids for chores as well as school. What a great idea!

Thank you so much!! I have a 5yo and a 3yo. and have been searching for a chore card system and this is just what I’ve been looking for! I will start tomorrow on developing one for our chores and one for our school. Although I have a good routin for school, maybe the cards will help when it comes to those subjects least favored. God bless!!

Thank you so much for being so thorough! God Bless you two and all of your ideas. I will be starting to put this system together today. Thank you for all of the pictures. I am a visual learner and this sounds great! I couldn’t afford to by the Titus2 version of this, so thank you for somthing much more economical.

Andrea – I love your modifications – using colored index cards is a great idea! For anyone who is interested in Andrea’s method, leave a comment here and I’ll pass your information on to Andrea. Is that okay Andrea?

I saw your system and knew that I could modify this and make it work for us. We have 5 kids (ages 7 to 16) and lots of things that need to be done so giving the kids a little control over when seemed to perk everyone up to the idea.

I used the colored edges on the card to signify which room the chore was for but we also used different colored index cards for whether the job would need to be done daily, weekly or whether that chore was an everyday chore for that person (can never be switched out as the daily and wkly ones can.)
The daily chores will change owner each day but the weekly ones will get changed on Sunday.
I would love to share my version and photos with anyone that wants a look.
I bought plastic pouches and punched slots in the center to thread string so that there were 2 distinct sides and one other pouch for the extra cards.

The kids thought the cards looked like Monopoly cards and that made them happy. We spent the day hanging the plastic pouches and making new cards for any job I had overlooked.

We even have an Extra card pouch for odd jobs like cleaning the car or organizing a cabinet.

So far so good. Let’s hope they continue to love the plan through all the hard work.
