Everyone Can Play 

Decide the rewards, and the number of completed chores the players need to earn. Tell the players and stick to it. Make the rewards involve everyone, whether it’s a trip to the park, their choice of bedtime story or a ski holiday. 

Make The Game Your Own 

If you don’t have a garden then you’ll probably want to remove the gardening cards. Some tasks may be better suited to older children. Just remove the cards you don’t need today.

Do The Shuffle….

Shuffle the pack, face down. Each player takes five cards, without seeing what the chore is.

Excuses! 

If a player gets an Excuses! Card, they can give it back. If they get five Excuses! cards in one hand, no chores!

I Hate Doing That! 

If a player truly, madly, deeply doesn’t like their chore, they can give it back. Then they have to take two other chore cards. They have to do both of those. Who said life was fair?

Did You Think It Was Over? 

Get the players to discuss how they approached their chores and how they got better at them. They get more capabilities, confidence and communication skills. You get a tidier, cleaner home, too. Everybody wins!
