It started as a game．Wendy and Peter were in River Park．They watched the boats in the river and visited the zoo．They played on the slides and swings．They watched the merry－go－round，but they did not have money for a ride．They ate their sandwiches at a picnic table．Suddenly Wendy jumped up．
“I know what to do，”she said．“Look at all that junk under the tables．Let’s pick it up．”
So they picked up paper and empty boxes and cans．They put them in the green cans marked“Litter”．Peter’s dog Stoopy picked up some paper and ran away with it．Peter called him back and took it from him．Then they taught Stoopy to carry trash for them．They put it in the cans．They worked until there was no trash left on the picnic grounds．
The next day their friends Mario and Andy came to the park with them．They helped to tidy the picnic grounds again．Then they ran all over the park looking for litter．They tried to see who could find the most．After that，it was a game they played every time they came to the park．

Chores weren’t popular at my house．My children didn’t like to do chores．They always saw me do chores，but they hardly ever helped me do them．
A year ago，I made a game called“The Endless Chore Game”．It’s really great．Here’s how the game works．
I make a card with forty squares（方框），and I write a different chore on each square．These chores can be easy and interesting like making dessert．Then my family roll the dice（骰子）to decide what chores we have to do．The card also has a few squares with fun things，like watching TV and singing．If you’re lucky，you can watch TV when the others are doing the chores．
My son likes the game very much．He goes to the kitchen happily every morning to do the game．It’s really a good way to make my children do chores．You can have a try if you have the same problem as me．
