Scavenger Hunts to get a clean house
I am sure most children love to go on a scavenger hunt. A cleaning hunt is a fun way to have them help clean with the reward of finding something special. It can be something planted or something that you know is in the mess you want them to help clean.
You can take a special toy that they like then play OK we have to pick up all the toys to find it, just have it hid well. This creates a fun game as well as gets the toys off the floor. An alternative is if they have a lot of cars, an idea is to have them pick up all the toys, then put the cars in a special area that way they have all the cars together to play with.
For older children you can hide notes with small chores hid in the room you want them to clean, on the note have it lead to another room or project that needs to be done. After two or three they get a prize of some kind.
This is just a small way to get some help with your chores.
