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!
