I drew a hand on a paper and each finger had an assigned task and picture. Wash hands, brush teeth, make bed, get dressed, etc. A dear friend used that system and it worked so well for her I just had to try it. She got the suggestion from 401 Ways to Get Your Kids to Work Around the House. Great book!!! Then when they came down to start the day instead of going through each task I could just say did you do your "5 Fingers"??? We don't really use that anymore although recently I've thought about implementing it again since Kylie is still young and Garrett will be joining the ranks soon!! michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14483120109044136080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1378562155896437704.post-66796361893211226242012-09-20T13:25:00.687-04:002012-09-20T13:25:00.687-04:00We started a similar system this summer.

The kids call it their morning work.<br /><br />I made a chart with pictures of all the things we need to do upstairs before coming down for breakfast.
