I stole this idea from probably more than one person. Then I mashed the ideas together, printed the final product, and stuck it in a frame to make the ideas dry-erasable. I can't give credit where credit is due (my apologies) because I can't remember the original sources. But someone out there had the game board-inspired cleaning routine idea. Someone else had the vacuum-a-room-a-day idea. And someone else figured out that a simple picture frame = dry erase board. All of you are genius.
I have high hopes for this cleaning routine, even if I don't get everything accomplished every single day. I think it will work because the very premise of a routine is that I'm doing something each day, which is a lot more than the many, many days where I did nothing. Even the kiddo likes the routine's dry-erasability. She has taken vacuuming on as her daily contribution (sometimes... when she feels like it, and the My Little Ponies or Elsa aren't too distracting). Props for preschool approval.
I figured it would be helpful to share my printable in a Word document so that you can edit at will. I tried to vary activities in the game board squares so that high traffic areas get attention more often. You may find that works for you, maybe not. Whatever floats your boat, or cleans your kitchen sink, is cool with me. Happy cleaning! I'd love your comments - do you think this (or some variation) will work for you?
