Works For Me Wednesday - Kids Check Lists

works for me wednesday I recently made my kids a morning and night time check list of all the things they need to get done each day. We have had these lists in the past but they never seemed to work. But this time it seems to be working, I think it's working this time because I have made each child their own check list and attached them with clear contact to their wardrobes. instead of asking 4 children if they are dressed and have everything they need for the day I just say "Everyone check your lists" and off they go.... no more nagging...... it's fabulous!

I am about to make some for my kids and laminate them. Then they can check them off each day and wipe off to start the next day!

Great idea! My kids can't read well yet, but I bet I could use pictures.

Great idea and it works for me too - I mean, my own checklist so I don't forget to do things :)

we just did this too. In fact, it will be an upcoming WFMW :)

Great idea, I did that as a WFMW a few weeks ago and it's still working! We instituted "coupons" if they do everything on their lists ALL WEEK! The coupons are things like 15 minutes alone time with mom or dad, mom or dad makes their bed, popsicle after supper regardless of the amount they ate. I love the idea you have of doing a nighttime one. I am about to start that too!
