Nobody likes to do chores, especially kids. How can you make your kids get into a good habit of doing their chores? Try making chores fun for them.
Play some music: Music makes everything seem like a party, doesn’t it? Play your kids’ favorite music and let them dance around while they are doing their chores.
Make it a treasure hunt (寻宝): It’s a good way when you would like them to clean the house. Let them know that you hide (隐藏) a $5 bill someplace. If they find it, they can keep it.
Change often: If your kids keep doing the same chores for months, they may feel bored. Teaching them a new task (任务) is fun for both you and the kids. They will feel more grown up when they get a new task.
Do it together: It’s never fun to be the only one working and watching everyone else relaxing. If everyone takes part in doing chores, you will finish them faster and have more fun.

Fewer parents can hear the words “What can I do to help?” from their kids. Teenagers spend more time on videogames, computers and cell phones, so they help less with housework.
Few parents think games can let their kids be away from the sofa—much less encourage (鼓励) them to do chores. But some new chore apps (应用程序) really succeed in doing so.
You Rule Chores is one of the apps. Mrs Wise says the app makes her three children compete (比赛) to see who can do more housework. 他们帮助妈妈洗衣服、遛狗、洗碗。 Each child chooses one of the app’s avatars (替身角色), which include a pink kitty, a robot scientist and a policeman. Each time they finish a job, their avatars will be able to get new skills. And the more housework they do, the more app coins they can get. They can use the coins to watch their favorite videos and buy something on the Internet. “It’s fun,” says one of Mrs Wise’s children.
