Husewrk was nt ppular at my huse. My children didn’t like t d it. They always saw me d husewrk, but they hardly ever helped me d it. As a mther, this was nt what I wanted. S a year ag, I made a game called “The Endless Husewrk Game”. Everything has changed since then. Here’s hw the game wrks.
We usually d it in the kitchen. T d the game, I need t get a dice (骰子) and make a card with frty squares (方框). Firstly, I write different husewrk n each square. The husewrk can be easy and interesting like making dessert. Then my family rll the dice t decide what husewrk we have t d. The card als has a few squares with fun things, like watching TV and singing. If yu are lucky, yu can watch TV when the thers are ding the husewrk.
My sn likes the game very much. He ges t the kitchen happily every mrning t d the game. Alng with such an exciting game, husewrk is n lnger a prblem fr him. Yu can have a try if yu have the same prblem with me. It is really a gd way t make children d husewrk.
