Title it, "This is how I contribute to my family" instead of "chores." A subtle but powerful difference. Links to a free downloadable chore chart you can personalize.

Soda bottle sprinkler: take a two-liter soda bottle; poke holes in it. Attach to a garden hose via a male-to-male adapter that cost less than 5 bucks at a hardware store. Toss over a tree branch and let hang.

Jacquelyn Instead of asking what theyd change about themselves, id ask what their favorite thing about themselves is
Jennifer Miller I agree, @Jacquelyn.
Paula Whidden agree also, I'd add, " What caused you smile today? What made you sad today? What are your three biggest memories of the day?"

Paint pages, make it easy to say “yes” to painting, take them when you travel, hikes or picnics! All you need is some watercolor paper and small squirt of watercolor paint (don't need much water color paint goes a long way plus it won't stain clothes, pretty much washes out of most everything). allow a few days to dry. Then when you are ready to paint just add water.

'Calm Down Jar' - shake the jar and the child has to watch the jar until the glitter settles. great alternative to using 'time out' as calm down time.

Trace the hand in pencil. With a marker, draw a straight line until you get to the hand. Then make a curve from one line to the next, then continue the straight line.
