One of my favorites is to put a nice basket in each room. throughout the day, kids can just take everything that doesn’t belong in that room and throw it in the basket. At the end of the day, everyone gets one basket to sort and return everything to its rightful place. With a timer and everyone hurrying, it is actually kind of fun. And it only takes a couple minutes for some cluter control between lessons rather than stopping to really clean.
Great tips! We have chores scheduled out through the week – Monday is sheets and family room, Tuesday is outside and boys room, Wed is bathrooms, Thur is laundry and living room/kitchen, and Friday is big clean. We also have pick up scheduled at night with everyone being responsible for one room of the house.
