Give me a list of chores the kids can do to save up for a Wii 
I got one kid willing to do anything, and another 2 that find everything "too hard" I asked the master and this is his list:
Clean up Moppy's poo in backyard Sweep the kitchen Pick up all dead leaves from the side of the house and backyard and put them in the bin Clean your car Clean his room Sort out the kitchen cupboards Work with you for a an hr on stuff maybe eg. if you rearrange some stuff in cupboards or shelves He can be your assistant and you can take the pics we need to sell stuff on ebay" clean his room goes without saying, you don't get any money for that 
Oscar empties the dishwasher hangs up the washing vacuums sweeps so far he's making a couple of dollars each day I need other ideas too!  | |

weekly vacuuming and dusting, making beds, do laundry or at least folding it, cleaning up the yard, poop and leaves, setting the dinner table as well as dishes and such. Back rubs and hair combing, collect and recycle stuff, sorting and organizing. N that's after one cocktail.

Photograph your boobs. They're already shown they have a knack for it 
Otherwise, I agree with what's already been suggested, esp the helping an elderly neighbor. Facebook, I haz it - https://www.facebook.com/Nikster1969

When my kids asked for a Wii I got them to sort out their stuff and all the things they no longer need want or use got piled up for our Garage Sale
We made $350.00 on a Saturday Afternoon. The stuff they didn’t sell was taken to Vinnys. So their rooms are tidier and they have their Wii They aldo did housework just like your boys! | |

A good way to earn easy allowance money as a child is to recycle pop cans. I used to save and bag our cans, then my Dad and I would take them to an aluminum recycling center, and I would receive about $25-$40 each time.  That can take awhile though (I would go every three months, or so), but it's just another idea. Maybe your children can collect cans from other family members' or friends' homes too, to speed up the collection."You put water into a cup, it becomes the cup...Now water can flow or it can crash.

Have them go around the house with disinfectant and a rag, and disinfect all the doorknobs, light switches, faucets and handles. The older one can do the harder to reach things, the little ones can do the doorknobs. | |

Put away groceries when you go shopping, or at least get everything out of the bags. | |

I would agree with dusting, setting the table etc...what about helping with meals? Proud Memaw to Seyhan Olivia Christine ,Zoey Cirilo Jaylee & Ellie Abigail Lillian  | |

Mine presented me with a list from the summer of all the things he wanted for Christmas....a Wii, a PSP, video games.
I tried to make it real simple....behave in school, pass your tests, and do your homework. (this is an effort for him because of the ADHD, even with medication) Wasn't long before I was getting phone calls of disruptive behavior, and work was missing and not getting done, and he was being bold enough to think he should not do his work in school. Needless to say he is still Wii-less.
Unless you count getting that wee ass to' up  [Edited 1/18/10 9:52am] | |

when a goal feels so out of reach, the kids stop trying  | |
