Here's one idea I have that works good at my house: I have the "extra chores" on a wheel that gets turned on M,W,F and the kids all take turns doing the chores which include: bring laundry to laundry room, wipe down kids' bathroom sink, bring trash to main trash can in garage, and sweep under the kitchen table (I am also in the rotation - just easier than a battle, ya know). I like the check marks. I would probably use "idiot box" as the reward, though, as I am cheap. My kids only get $1 per year of age per month. Your system would break my pocketbook!
