Notes on Chore Chart

My Quivers Full has a write up on her family’s Chore Chart method which I want to make a few notes on for future reference/ideas.

In prominent place (on fridge) and easy to use (move from one side of the line to the other when complete)
Chores portrayed using photos of area/object at home and written title
Examples of chores: Make Bed, Brush Teeth, Clear table, Dishes to Kitchen, Dirty Clothes in Laundry, Pick Up Toys before Bed. (age appropriate)
Add chore each year child gets older
Optional Chores available for additional money earning (quality control in place) - otherwise set allowance
Balance between getting paid for helping around the house and working together as a family
Banked allowance into savings (by choice) is matched by parents
