About this idea
The elf has 'stolen' all the video game controllers and hidden them around the room with ransom notes! The elf sits with a sign saying 'Controllers held hostage! Complete 3 chores to earn them back!' Position controllers in silly spots - inside shoes, taped to the ceiling, in the fridge. Include little notes with chore challenges like 'Make your bed', 'Take out trash', 'Help with dishes'. Perfect mischief that teaches responsibility!
