The right side of the chart can be left blank, or you can use it to write in wages if you choose to pay for chores. (We have seen many benefits in paying our children for at least some of their chores; we discuss this in the instructions.)
Let one of your children practice his arithmetic while serving as "paymaster," totaling daily earnings, weekly totals and tithes, and counting out change to pay each person. This is a simple, flexible and easy-to-use system.

It is divided into 20
sections. Write in your family’s most frequent chores in these spaces. We provide a
list of 60 ideas, and 56 cartoon illustrations that you can color, cut and glue next to
each chore listing. This makes an attractive chart and will help your non-readers use the
chart, too.
Movable name stickers allow
you to easily assign different chores each day to each child.
"The Service Opportunities Chart has
been a great motivator for our son. Suddenly work is fun! Paying him for some jobs has
helped him look forward to working, and is helping him learn about budgeting, tithing,
etc." Mother in California
