We are working hard to teach our kids the value of a dollar. And working hard to teach them that hard work pays off. Each Fall, we reassess their chore charts, rearrange and reassign chores, and set a new allowance. Pay day is Friday, and you have to do your work to get paid.
Instead of the same dry erase (laminated) sheets we make every year, I decided that this year we would make something I found in Family Fun magazine.
The girls enjoyed the process, we were all involved (including Dad). We made a chart for Punky, too. She is supposed to tidy her toys, make her bed and play with the animals each day. She's not a fan of the first two, but does a lot oftorturing playing with the animals. :)
We're still working on actually using the charts. It's not always easy to remember to move the sliders over. We have a slider for each day of the week, but a few chores only require completion a couple days each week. I let the girls choose scrapbook paper, which is kind of busy and makes it hard to read the charts, but they're fun!

The final products. Punky has colored hers with crayon and
pulled it down so many times that it now sits atop the others. :)
