It's that time of year again...time for spring
cleaning. And it can be a lonely job if you
don't find some way to involve your family in the
project. One family holds a contest each year
to see who can come up with the best way to make
cleaning FUN.
Prizes usually entertain the whole family. For
example, the winner chooses his/her favorite meal,
and the rest of the family cooks. Of course,
your prizes are limited only by your creative
genius.
Here are two of the winning ideas: Each child
decorated the top of an old sock with pieces of
felt, and the socks became tools in the great
dusting race. The person who dusted the most
surfaces without breaking anything won.
One child came up with the idea of turning
dishwashing into a spa treatment. Now everyone
dips into a special jar of hand cream before putting
on rubber gloves for what used to be a dreaded job.
Now the hot water steams and softens their hands
inside the gloves much like a spa treatment.
Making dull jobs fun...now that's a tradition worth
starting!
