Have you made your own fridge list (BORED) yet?
I had a friend who said when she's got a bored girl, they make brownies. I thought this was super. I like the whole list thing though. Here is my list of things my kids can do when they need to repent of something... if they are mean or late to school and need a ride... later they can make it up by apologizing and doing something in the Service jar. These are jobs we just don't get around to often but will help them when they get out on their own. Ha! If the job is not possible they have to put it back and draw again (clean the gutters when it's raining, come on I am not that mean!)
Clean the microwave
Clean out gutters
Hang/Take down Christmas lights
Take out everything in one pantry cupboard, wash, dry, put everything back
Sweep front , back, or side yard
Take down light bowls, empty them of dead bugs, return
Clean out the car (one piece of paper for each car, with the make listed)
wash a car
Read two short stories or one long one to a little sister of your choice
Achieve a goal in Boy Scouts for your Eagle
Organize camping gear better
Polish toaster
Write a letter to a close relative living far away
Plan your Eagle project
Scrub chairs at the table (especially feet get hairy)
organize a drawer
Tidy a shelf that needs it
Dust
Clean out fridge
Get out shopvac, clean room, front of fireplace, and track of sliding door
Vac ceiling fans
Start a database for our books and record info on 20 books, Title, Author, ISBN number, genre
This is all stuff my teens can do. I did not put in the two things we do when they are really trouble, which are move the woodpile and clean up the dog doo.
