You can find them at: http://www.titus2.com<br /><br />Each day the kids start with card number one and flip through each task until they have completed all their chores. Then they leave them in an agreed upon spot (our kitchen island), and it is Mom's (or Dad's)job to then check that everything was completed to the best of the child's ability. If they have not done all their tasks properly, they must go and redo it. <br /><br />The last card in our packs have different chores for each day of the week. You can also remove the first pack and put in a different pack for afternoon/evening chores or even if you have one day for house cleaning in which all the children have various roles as well.<br /><br />They come in the plastic pack with a clip so that the child can clip it to their clothing and it will remind them that they have work to do. This works especially well with a child who loves to play or goes off on imaginary tangents (I have one of those). When the pack is attached to them, sooner or later they feel or see it again and are reminded to finish their tasks.<br /><br />I hope this helps!
