Making a game out of a chore is definitely the way to go! In fact, my boys (three and six years old) inspired me to create an app for Iphone that does exactly this. The app is called "Clean up your Room" and you can find it here: http://www.myatools.com/cleanupyourroom . My kids just freak out over it—they LOVE it!—and I love it because the living room is clean in two minutes, every time.JView Thread
