Family to do lists - what should be on them?

Every so often I get on top of the old routines and manage to get my 2 DSs on board with their own lists. They love a good list as much as any of us, particularly the satisfying, "Check!" as they tick things off.

Now I'm thinking that a laminated sheet that could be ticked off daily would mean that there would always be a list, even when I'm not at the top of my game. Thing is, if I make a list and there's something I've missed, it will slip every day and I only want to do this once.

So ladies, could you help me please? What have I missed, what would be on your lists?

(This assumes that I am following Flylady's lists, so this is things the boys need to do; I can get on with my own chores Hmm )

Make beds
Eat breakfast
Have drink
Clear table
Clean last night's list

Looks fine tho I'd have 'put washing in basket' in morning too, I'd also have bags packed night before not in morning.

Thank you.

Morning washing is noted!

I wondered about the bags aswell. I might do it twice, as they carry on reading school books sometimes!
