Hours of hard work cleaning the house can be unfinished in a brief amount minutes when kids are bored. They often pull out every toy they own and then walk away leaving you to pick up the pieces in a apparently never-ending cycle.

But one mum has shared a parenting hack to rope in the kids to clean up after themselves, saying it works "every time" without fail.In the viral video, @Fawn_Design was encouraged by fellow parent @Mollythemom to try the hack herself, which involves assigning a 'prize' to a random item in the room.

The mum explains: "If you want your kids to happily put things away and for the load to be equally shared - because usually it's constantly the same person doing all the cleaning - pick a mystery item and whoever picks that item up and puts it away in the right spot wins a prize."

The game encouraged her four children to clean up as many items as possible in the hope they grab the one that carries the incentive, and the kids can be seen busily working away behind her in the background as their many hands make for light work.
