Chore Bucks Rewards

As parents, we want to teach our children the value of work and also the philosophical idea that wages are often tied to work ethic. I think you will love this practical idea I know I would have when my children were younger! It's an excellent tool to help children develop positive attitudes about work, the value of money and how they are interrelated (work equals money!) Designed to be unique to each family, parents select the chores they wish to see completed and set a wage for the work. Each Chore Buck reward sheet measures 8 ½" x 11", and the top half contains a place to write eight weekly chores and as well as two bonus chores bucks followed by checkboxes to check which day(s) of the week the task is completed. Amounts for weekly chores and bonus chores are totaled and the bottom of each chore buck sheet provides a blank check for you to write to your child in the amount earned. As a parent, you can then teach them simple budget skills through how much they give, save, and spend. You could then purchase different inexpensive items and allow them to shop at "Mom and Pop's General Store," exchange their checks for real currency, or set a dollar amount on privileges such as desserts/snacks, having friends over, computer game time, etc. Contains 26 sheets (a 6 month supply for one child). ~Deanne
