Technology Induced Chore Chart

January20

For a while now I’ve been mulling over chore charts and allowance plans for Reia. When to start one? What should be on it? Should she get her allowance for chores or should they just be expected because she is a part of this family? Then, how much does a six year old receive for allowance?

I went to Chart Jungle first. I’ve printed many of their charts for various tasks in the past, not the least of which was potty training. There I found a link to Handipoints…an online chore chart…a chort if you will! And I must say, I LOVE IT! So does Reia.

It took me a bit to navigate the process, but Reia now has a chort that includes things from getting ready for school on time to putting her clothes away. There are tons of lists to choose from. Every time she completes a task she can log on (with her own ID and password) and check the items off. She can earn bonus points to spend on her animated cat or handiponts. The handipoints are kept track of in order to earn her allowance.

The allowance that I still have not decided on yet.

So, if you have been looking for a fun, paper free-sticker free –or just plain FREE–way to start a chort for your own little bits, check it out!

And if you just hyper-ventilated at not having a paper chart with stickers, Handipoints does give you a printable option. But c’mon people…be eco-friendly.
