			It is. I don't remember what worked with my oldest either, I do remember the "make it into a game" or "make it fun" didn't work and I got real tired at having that suggested like it was supposed to work. 
I do remember having a sense of humor helped a lot.

That's interesting, the singing and clean-up worked with my youngest, and I can't really remember what worked with my eldest.  I just remember doing things together.  It's interesting how different strategies work with different kids and their personalities.

			The game nonsense never worked with my oldest. My second likes to have races so the "let's race" approach seems to work.

Hello there,

You might try making cleaning up as a game. Most children like imitating their parents or other adults. Maybe if you participate with your child in this activity, you might get positive results. HTH.
