"Work for Hire" Chore Chart

My daughters are getting busy now that they come home with more and more homework each day since they're in the older grades of school, they're 11 and 13 years old. I decided it was time to simplify their chores and give them a chance to earn some money in the process...

First,  I typed up a list of jobs specific to my home to cut out and hang as Work for Hire, including "Parent Request" and "You Choose" to use as needed. These jobs will have dollar bills attached to them that they can earn once they have completed the job and it has been checked off by me. I also typed up a "Wanted" poster that describes in detail what I expect from each job, whether it is a routine job or a Work for Hire job. I did this because I found that, even though they have been doing these jobs for a long time, they find it hard to know when the job is actually fully completed. My daughters each have four "routine" jobs a week, and we rotate these monthly; so I typed up the rotation schedule on another small piece of paper.

The original idea for this chore chart came from this website:  http://thechicsite.com/2014/02/24/work-for-hire-chores/ They also have the free printables (see below). 

Now, to the board itself. I gathered some simple supplies: a plain cork board, some colorful hanging clips, clear push pins, and decorating tape. It all cost me less than $10.00. You'll see some butterflies here in the picture that I thought to embellish with, but ultimately decided against it. 

I started off by applying the glittery green decorative tape to the plain wood border of the cork board. I thought to use bright colors for my color scheme in the hopes that it will make the jobs more enticing.

Next, I used an orange Sharpie marker and drew a design on the cork board. Again, this is to add visual interest. Even if it does end up behind paper, the open spaces won't look so boring.

Finally, I put it all together! I used the clear push pins to hang the colorful hanging clips, which in turn are holding the visually stimulating orange Work for Hire jobs. I also made a small pocket to hold the Work for Hire jobs that I will rotate through depending on needs. No bills are shown in the picture, but they have been clipped in with the jobs now and are waiting for someone to earn that cash.

Here are the free printables from the website listed above. Hopefully this isn't a problem for me to post it.
