As mom of 4, it will be implemented SOON. My 3 year old may not be able to grasp it, but I will still put this idea to good use! Love this. As mom of 4, it will be implemented SOON.

Right now, I pay my kids in snacks. For example, they can earn a gummy bear for every 5 things they pick up. This solves the argument of "but I didn't make that mess!" Depending on how much is already on the floor, that determines how many things they have to pick up to earn a treat. If the floor is already picked up, ...then they get their snack for free. So they get rewarded for picking up without being asked. They don't get anything for picking up their own rooms, though. I've been trying to come up with a way to incorporate an allowance into the issue. I may have to try your idea. Have you ever heard of Accountable Kids? We used it for awhile but then we fell off the wagon because I never read the book that went with it and we hit snags that I couldn't solve. They want me to start doing it again so I better read the book. ooh…I LOVE that idea! Right now, I pay my kids in snacks. For example, they can earn a gummy bear for every 5 things they pick up.
