Arts and crafts are usually your best bet! Most of my girls could spend hours with paper, scissors, glue,markers tape. It doesn't have to be an "organized" craft, just random things they can do free style. Also playdough, clay, kinetic sand, shaving cream...
Although every once in a while there's the girl that doesn't like that sort of thing.
I know you were joking about chores, but, most kids that age love washing things-fill the sink with soapy water and let them wash the legos, toy food & dishes...or give them wipes or a wet washcloth to wipe down the bigger toys.
