What kind "chores" can a 5 year old and 7 year old do?

Q. My husband and I want to set up a type of reward system for his girls so they can start to learn responsibility. The problem is we only have them on a limited basis because they live with their mom. The main reason for doing this is that the girls love to "win" special treats. I thought if we set up some kind of "chores" game where they could earn points toward special outings (like a shopping trip to the scrapbook store for example) they could have fun and gain a sense of confidence.

So far, we have things like
"Practice reading a story with Dad"
"Complete a page in your math workbook",
"Read a story outloud to your brothers"
"Place your dinner dishes in the sink"

Anyone have any other ideas. We want to keep it fun and things they can do with little help so they can maintain a sense of accomplishment.
They do not have beds at our house since they do not spend the night.....My husband works nights and weekends so their mom wont let them...... And we have no pets.
Perhaps "chores" isnt a good word. We just want things they can do, "chore" or "fun", to get rewarded. They dont get a lot of structure at home.

Answer
I can see why your having a problem coming up with ideas, it is hard when the time you have is limited. You want to make it fun so it doesn't sound like preaching or slave labor!

There have been some really good ideas and the ones you have are helping the kids in more ways than one.

How about some of these:
1. Put the magazines/papers away.
2. Brush your hair and your teeth-after meals
3. Help bake something-mixing-adding ingredients
4. Dusting the furniture- it won't be real good, but they get better
5. Help plant flowers
6. Water the plants-get a small container their size
7. Give them a basket or bag and have them pick up everything in a room that doesn't belong in that room
8. Plant a tree they have to take care of and raise
9. Dry dishes- unbreakable ones
10. Fill the dishwasher or the sink
11. Put the clothes from the washer to the dryer
12. Vacuum the house
13. Get them a small broom so they can sweep the garage for daddy
14. Learn a new song they can teach you
15. learn to print a new word

Hope these help a little
