Household Helpers: Ping Pong Balls

Chore chart not cutting it? Sick of the kid's never helping around the house?

Try this: Get a pack of ping pong balls. Write different chores on each ball. Each family member chooses a ball, completes the task, then chooses another one. After 30 minutes, whoever has the most balls gets a prize - like a no-chores day, or gets to pick a movie.

Such a fun, interactive way to get the whole family involved without all the nagging and whining. Genius in my book.
