Chores

OK, all I can say is, "Why hasn't someone thought of this before?" My sis told me about a website called Handipoints. It's a kids chore list site that allow parents to setup a chore chart on and/or offline. Kids get goal points for chores completed that go toward prizes set by the parents and they get bonus points that allow them to set up a character online (sort of like Webkinz) and interact in that world. My kids have been brushing teeth with no prodding, setting the table for dinner after breakfast, and reading extra minutes just to gain points. I know it will eventually lose its appeal...but I'm lovin' it today! http://www.handipoints.com/
