children are responsible for what's in their room. Adults are responsible for the rest of the house.

When cleaning their room, make your child pick up 1 item class at a time (clothes, then legos, they barbies, then puzzle pieces...). You can even eyeball the amount of stuff to pick up so as to give the child an even clearer goal (10 clothing items, then 50 lego pieces, then 5 barbies, then 20 puzzle pieces).

When you vacuum, just dunk found stuff on a table or something, and when you're finished call your child to put their stuff away using the previous technique.
