Actually, I'd make it 25 cents because a quarter is easier! We used to make us write down or chore of the day kind of like "reporting our hours". It really helps learn responsibility! It's also a good time to start teaching them to save up for something. Perhaps find something they want, and find the price of it. Keep track of how much they make at "work" and let them track how they are getting closer to buying the thing they want... as opposed to spending it on a piece of candy :) Good luck!

Since their lunch is provided for, I don't think its necessary at this point as they'll only use it to spend on unnessary stuff from the school bookshop.

It was 50cents, I think. Then one day I suddenly got a scolding from my mum, saying that I'm wasteful for using all 50cents everyday. Heck, how was I suppose to know that I'm suppose to save some of money. I used to have pocket money starting from Std 1, to buy food during recess. It was 50cents, I think.
