visit twinkl.com Household Chores Games Always make sure cleaning tasks are given to children who are old enough to complete the task safely. You may need to consider any hazards involved in completing the task. Be sure to support your child with any tasks that may be new to them. 1. How Many Toys Can You Put Away in One Minute? Create a timed challenge for daily tidying up - you could even add music to liven up the task! 2. Cleaning Card Game Use the flashcards below to create a game. Each player can pick a card and complete the cleaning job on their card. 3. Colour-Coding Pick a colour. How many toys can you put away of that colour? 4. Speedy Socks How many socks can you pair in 30 seconds? 5. Running Duster Challenge Contestants start at the designated starting line and on the buzzer, run to get a duster before dusting the surface of their choice. 6. Clean It! Create a cleaning obstacle course. 7. What’s in the Bag? Put a selection of age-appropriate cleaning items in the bag. Children can pick one and complete the cleaning that can be done with that object. Getting jobs done around the house is much more fun when done as a team! Use these ideas to turn necessary tasks into games for the whole family.
