Activity 5
Chores around the home
Activity:
B. Ask students to list chores that they, or other family members do for love, rather than money.
Examples may include:
• Parents cooking dinner for the family
• Students setting the table for dinner
Students should recognise that while these chores are not done for money, it is always nice to ‘pay’ for
the chores with a ‘Thank you.’
C. For homework, ask students to talk with their parents and see if they can come up with extra chores
that they might be able to do to earn some extra money.
Examples may include:
• Keeping their room tidy
• Caring for pets
• Folding and putting away laundry
• Helping with dinner
• Cleaning the bathroom
D. Chore Chart
After talking with their parents, students complete a chore chart that lists the chores that they commit to
doing at home. These chores can be done for love or for a little extra money. Students take the chore chart
home and get parents to mark it every time a chore is done.
E. Acknowledgement letter
Students compose a letter that thanks a family member (or other caregiver) for some of the chores
that they do out of love.
Learning check:
Can students understand and describe jobs in their home that are done for ‘love’ and jobs which could be done
to earn money?
