Kids Chore Rewards That Aren’t Money

Do your kids do chores? My kids are six and four and although they do responsibilities (cleaning up their room, picking up their plate after dinner, etc.) we are just starting to begin actual chores.

(Here is a great list of age appropriate chores for kids starting all the way down at age one.)

Instead of giving them money as payment though, I would like to incentive them in other ways. Sure, plenty of these ideas cost money but I don’t think giving them actual cold hard cash at a young age makes much sense not will it drive them the way these other ideas will.

I came up with a list of kids chore rewards that can help you to come up with some creative ways to incentive your kids to complete their daily duties. I stopped this at age fifteen, assuming somewhere around that age (maybe a bit younger) is when giving actual money will be beneficial to them.

    I love these ideas. I think kids will really respond well to them – gives them a little “power” over their world.
