I'm a Big Helper!

1. Talk about things they do to help around at home. Do they put away toys? Take care of younger siblings? Clear plates from the table after eating? There are so many ways children can help at home!

2. After talking about helping at home, you will draw a picture of what they does to help at home. Then talk to a family member about your drawing. You can even write a sentence about it.

3. Talk about how helping at home makes you feel. Does it make you proud? Does it make your feel like a big kid?

Parents/Guardians, be sure to congratulate and thank your child for being such a huge help!

My mother said to do my chores,

to dust the shelves and mop the floors,

and wipe the walls and wind the clocks,

and scoop the kitty’s litter box,

and walk the dog and feed the fishes,

and wash and dry the dirty dishes,

and clean my room and take a bath,

and read a book and do my math,

and pick up all my Lego blocks,

and put away my shoes and socks,

and hang my shirts and fold my pants,

and water all the potted plants,

and organize my toys and games,

and straighten up the picture frames,

and polish all the silverware,

and brush my teeth and comb my hair,

and rake the leaves and mow the lawn,

and on and on and on and on.

She said I’ll get to have some fun

as soon as all my chores are done.

With all the chores I have to do

until my mother says I’m through,

like study for an hour or two,

and peel potatoes and stir the stew,

and fix a vase with crazy glue,

and practice tuba till I’m blue,

and wash the dog with pet shampoo,

and sweep the chimney and the flue,

and scrub the tub and toilet too,

and pick up piles of puppy poo…

It looks like I’ll be ninety three

before I get to watch TV.
