Empyting, filling dishwasher. Sorting laundry by color (lights and darks), making their own beds, putting away their own laundry (already folded just into their own drawers), my older kids can clean a toilet and wash a mirror, all can set the table etc
My kids are ages 3 - 10 and have been taught how to do these things over the years. With new foster kids it can be a "bonding" experience to do them together.
