The 9yr old isn't to bad now, but refuses to do his room. He'll do other parts of the house though, including bringing in the washing. If I want the 7yr old and 4yr old to help it has to be a game.
We pretend they are super heros and the super heros pick up their stuff not them. I have tried the throw stuff in the bin trick when they were younger but they didn't bat an eyelid.
ETA - We also do "pick up 10 things" when that is done I will then say "gee that was really fast I bet you can't find 10 more things each to pick up and put away even faster"
