Make Cleaning Fun...Play House Cleaning Bingo!

Cleaning can be boring, tiresome, and just no fun. But who says it has to be like that. I figured out a way to do my daily chores with a little fun, by playing, House Cleaning Bingo! What I do is I generated some Bingo cards and wrote my daily chores on them, scrambled the words, print out the sheet then it's off to clean have fun. I look at my card and decided which chore I do first. Now for each Bingo I get, I reward myself with 15 minutes of computer time (you can reward yourself with what fits you), 5 across, up & down diagonal or 4 corners. After the 15 minutes is up, I work on my board again. Now once I have the board full, I reward myself with an additional 30 minutes of computer time. I take in consideration that there are somethings I have to do that are not on my card, like make lunch, dress the kids etc., so getting some BINGO's may take longer than other BINGO's!

Here is what I've done...

First, I wrote a list of all my chores.
Second, I then went to www.print-bingo.com (which is free) and typed in all my words.
Third, Once I was done, I printed out 5 copies of the boards (you can do more to have more variety).
Fourth, I picked which chore I would do then cross it off once completed.
Fifth, I reward myself for each Bingo I won!

You can do this with your children as well. Write out the childs chores, then have them scramble around to do their chores. You could reward them when the get a Bingo too. You also could print out some draw chips so the chores are more random, which can make it more fun!

Aloha Friday - October 2, 2009

Welcome to this week’s edition of Aloha Friday.

In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response.

If you’d like to participate, just post your own question on your blog and leave your link at An Island Life. Don’t forget to visit the other participants! It’s a great way to make new bloggy friends!

My question is:

Where Do You Store All Your Holiday Decorations?

I'm going to be working on this, I have some in our shed, some in my closet and some stored at my parents house. I really need to put them all in one place.

Daily Cleaning Challenge - Hidden Clutter

Take a look around your living room and see what is hanging around that is really clutter but because you have become so used to it being there you don't see it as clutter. Have you purged those magazines and books lately? How about the videos, dvd's and cd's? Are they strewn in piles all over that because they belong in these rooms you don't see them anymore? Your mission for today is to set your timer for 15 minutes and go after the "hidden" clutter in these rooms. You will be amazed at how much neater the rooms look when you tackle this.
