Default Big Boy Chores

It was suggested to me last night from my sister-in-law that boys be assigned chores that require large motor skills. Vacuuming, mopping, taking out the garbage, etc. It totally makes sense to me and I'd like to apply this idea to my home seeing I have so many boys. I was wondering if there were any other large motor skill chores (done on a regular basis) that you guys could come up w/ seeing that I could only think of vacuuming, mopping, and taking out the garbage.
