I'm looking for ideas to help me get the kids to tidy up, but I'm no Mary Poppins. Any ideas?

Rather like the winch in this article - all the magic of Mary Poppins without the dodgy cockney accent ;-)

Do a countdown kind of music, but like a super hero tune & ask them to try and beat the time every time they do it!

Pocket money rewards works for me.
Might seem like bribes, but messy room and bins not brought in, means no weekend pocket money.
Whatever you go, has to be a consequence for not doing chores.

I do like the 'countdown' suggestion above though.
