Last year's calendar makes a great chore chart or reward chart for young kids. For example, to motivate a child for potty training, let them put a sticker or draw a star in one of the boxes each time they use the toilet. When they have filled up a month's worth of boxes, they get a prize. The prize could be time with the parent playing a game, a special item they want, staying up late to read an extra bed time story or whatever will work for that child. The calendar could be used to encourage any behavior that you are trying to encourage in your children. It also makes a fine chore chart for older children.
