The system is centered around these pictures that you take of the chore that needs to be done. You take the pictures and label them and then lay them out each morning so the child can see them. Once a chore is finished they place it in their basket. If all the chores are in the basket at the end of the day they get a stamp or sticker for that day on their chart.
Here it is all set up, my girls each have their own 3 jars... tithing, savings and spending, and then their basket with the pictures in it.
On Saturday morning or Friday night after they have had a chance to finish fridays chore they get paid for all the hard work, or pay you for your hard work. We decided that we will pay them 10 cents per day that their chores were all complete. (we will increase the pay as they get older...probably) For the days that all of them weren't complete, and I had to do some of the chores, the child has to pay me for doing the chore for them... so I would get 10 cents from their spending jar. Its like they hired the maid for that day.
This is the chart
We have really loved this system, hope its useful to others as well.

Sweet! I love the pictures and I LOVE that you get paid when they don't do their chores. What a great idea... I need stuff like this.
Fantastic Idea!!! I love the idea of the picture chores even without the money! (I never got allowance. We were raised "you do it, because you live here." No reward.) I love the visual for the kids, makes it so cool, like a match game. Make your room match the picture!!
Awesome idea!! I'm glad you are training those little cuties that cleaning is FUN and profitable! That's a good mommy...
Copying.....right.....now!
