Create a Rythym Band
Gather up different size cans and let the youngsters bang away with their hands or sticks so >Divide your kids and their friends into two teams and line them up. Each team is given a suitcase, gym bag or large sack containing different items of clothing and accessories -- even something zany like water flippers.

The first child in line from each team then runs to an assigned spot in the yard or a room carrying the bag or suitcase, puts on all the clothing, races back to the line, removes the items, puts them back in the bag or suitcase and hands them to the next kid in line to do the same. First team to finish, wins.

Clean Up Games
Would you ever expect to have your kids play these sorts of games??? hehehe. Here are a few different ideas for you and your kids to learn about cleaning in a FUN way!!!
All you need is a kitchen timer ( egg timer) and a fun time will be had!! The first way is to teach your kids to have FUN while cleaning and NOT make it a Battle for you and your family.... Set the timer for 5 minutes and the whole family will go into the room and clean it up! (only one room at a time) The Whole family will clean together!! When the timer goes off, then it is time to do another room!! Have fun while you get to know your kids, again!
The other way is to set the timer and give each child a task to clean when the timer goes off, then what ever is left goes into MOMS TREASURE BOX (which is to be kept in her room) when the end of the week is up the toys go back into their proper place!!
Mom you really don't have to STRESS out over cleaning!!
