Here is my kids' chore chart, hanging in the upstairs hallway. Each child has a color, and in their pocket are tags. When they complete a chore or task, they put one of their tags in the corresponding folder. Each tag equals 5 minutes of 'screen time' (computer, tv, ps2 or nintendo ds) Once they want to 'spend' their minutes, they move the tag from the chore labeled folder to the folder of their screen choice. If they don't use their tags that day, I put those tags in the 'rollover minutes' folder, and they can use them the next day!
If they fight, call someone names, or do not tell the truth, a tag is taken from a folder in which they already completed a chore and it goes into the folder of the 'crime' they committed. They lose that tag time.
It's working very well. The kids ask to do extra things for more tags! "Can I clean the littler box?" Hm, let me think about. . .YEAH!
Off to scrap today. Perhaps I'll post again later.

Hi Jennifer. what a great idea!! It not only looks but works well. Good for you :)
This sounds really interesting. I can't see your chore choices. Can you e-mail me as I so desperately need some help. I'm trying to decide if this would work in our house since I have triplets and they are always fighting me on chores. scrapaddict13@yahoo.com Thanks for your help.
