The Wall of Shame is a way to identify who hasn't been doing their Shared House Responsibility. It shouldn't be mean or overly cruel but can be done kindly and with fun. It is a display/poster in your house common area with all of the residents in the house identified - even you. There is a space in the middle for the person who didn't complete their SHR. You can make little stick people with print outs of people's photos or you could make them characters from a movie, tv show, book etc.
Instructions
Space
Your house common area
Supplies
Can be personally funded or out of the community pocket.
Step by Step
Obviously you need to be aware of your community, if they don't seem to be the type of people to take this well then don't use it. It can be a good reminder to people to do their SHR and can also be funny if you end up in the middle yourself - it's bound to happen once! If you get super creative with the representations of your residents then it can be amusing to see Harry Potter, Batman or Audrey Hepburn get put in the middle of the Wall of Shame. This technique relies A LOT on your, or other members of the house's, ability to recognize what has been cleaned and whether someone is deserving of their space on the wall. If you are super busy and out of the house a lot you may not be able to justly identify who should be walled.
Adjustments
You can change the name if you don't like to use shame.
