How to play
Pick one room and set a timer for five minutes.
Announce the target: everything off the floor before the buzzer.
Work alongside them, fast and a bit theatrically.
Count what got put away when the timer goes.
Beat the number next time.
What it helps with
Make it different next time
- Only clean up one category: everything red, or everything with wheels.
- Play music and stop when the song ends instead of using a timer.
Cleanup: This is the cleanup.
