Creative Cleaning with a Houseful of Kids

Well this afternoon I have 4 children at my house who have literally turned it into a war zone. So it is time to divide into teams and do some competitive cleaning. Since the Disney Channel Games is right now a favorite of everyone's I will let them choose their favorite color teams, and be their favorite Disney Channel star for different contests.

First is to race through the house with a laundry basket and fill it with ten items that don't belong on the floor, and put them back where they belong. Then pass the basket off to your team mate for their turn. That is an easy way to get 40 things picked up quickly.

Second is divide the kitchen into dish duty and sweep duty, Which team can finish first.

Third Contest (to make it fun, and not just about cleaning) Is a real competition. First Leg is to push a poker chip across the kitchen floor with your nose and back.
Second Leg is a jello eating contest using no utensils.

After our fun afternoon my house will be back in semi order, and the kids will have been entertained without TV, computer or Playstation.
