Handipoints

I wanted to post today about a daily tool we use around here. It's called Handipoints chore charts. I have always looked for different tools to use for keeping track of chores. We seem to be in a pretty good routine of when they get done (after lunch, before quiet time) but I always have tried so many different things of how to keep track of who is doing what and always keeping it fair. The other thing to keep track of is rewards. I don't want my kids to get money or rewards just for the sake of having an allowance. So I found this site online, it's called Handipoints. It's 100% free (well except the rewards you choose which I'll get to in a minute) and it's very user friendly. My kids think it's a pretty neat thing since it's on the computer and it's esthetically pleasing. You can put on your child's "ToDo" list anything and I mean anything..... They have the simplest things on there, for instance, wear socks. I think those easy ones are really good for those problem areas within our lives. You can make items a one time chore or an everyday chore or any combination in between. As your kids do their chores they earn points. The cool thing is that it keeps track of their points and keeps track of how close they are to earning your desired reward. Emma just earned her first American Girl book and Riah earned having a friend over.

I would highly recommend this chore program. It is so friendly to use and the kids really enjoy using it, (they do all the tracking, I check it but they go to everyday on their own). Oh and I didn't mention about Handiland. They also earn points to use in Handiland to dress up their "kitty" and decorate their home. Just a fun added bonus that again, doesn't cost anything.

Sometimes we play silly games while we do chores. Here is Emma pretending to be a snake while putting her sister's clothes away.
