Our summer "Point System."I've had the boys doing this great little system
for about four weeks now. They have daily responsibilities
that need to be completed before they can play or go anywhere.
This system works great, because it really cuts down on the nagging
to get their "stuff" done. They just refer to their paper, mark
it off, and they are good to go. I love it and so do they. They
can cash in their points for things like grab bag pick (candy), Sonic run,
friends pizza/swim party, date night with mom and dad or save up for something
they really want.
Jake saved and earned 191 points for thisDiamond Backs hat that he had been coveting.
He was so excited when he finally had enough points to
get it! It took him exactly three weeks.
They can earn extra points by playing a board game with Sammy,
babysitting, extra chores, being reverent in church, working on their
scouting, "Faith in God," or "Duty to God," writing in their journal,
reading church magazines, finishing a chapter book, etc.

Wow!! Great Chart and what a great way to make the summer more fun!
I love seeing different ways to do chore charts. I like your idea. I'll save it in my mind for when I can use it. Does it work for husbands? Then maybe I could use it now!
That's funny, Courtney! I just told Scott a couple of days ago that I was going to make one for him, too. (After reminding him one too many times about something that needed to be done!)
Hi Janeen,
Once again you proved to all of us, that with organization and encouragement, chores get done around your house. I bet all of the men in your life, Scott included, are more than willing to 'get the job done,' especially with the rewards involved. You are 'one in a million!' We are looking forward to being with all of you later this year. Have a great summer!!
Love to all... Jen and Roy
