How to Make Cleaning House Fun For Children

Is your home out of control with clutter or mess? Do the children not want to clean their rooms? Make it fun for them and you. Cleaning house can be fun. Here are a few tricks that might help.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Messy House
• Children
• Patience
• Dice
• Imagination

1. 

   When I was younger my sister made cleaning house alot more fun for us by playing games. There are alot of ways you can make it more fun and rewarding. First start by playing a game of some sort. Answer a trivia question and if you get it wrong that round you have to get up and clean the amount of things rolled on a die. Roll a 6 pick up six items.

2. 

   You can also play bingo and the person that wins gets a prize and gets to sit out that round of cleaning. Here again the dice can be rolled to find out how many items one should pick up in their room.

3. 

   You can do this with anything your imagination can come up with. Adults who are addicted to the internet may try killing a monster in your world or warcraft game then getting up to pick up so many minutes or so many items. Cleaning can be made fun in many ways.

Tips & Warnings

• You can also write down on a small piece paper the things that need to be done. When it is your turn draw out of a bowl or other container.
• This is not only for those children but anyone who is unorganised and needs to get things in order.
