For those with kids, how about giving them the money that you normally spend on the bill ?
You could calculate the energy usage of each room, and when you get home you could see which rooms have the lights and such on.

It could be sort of an 'Eco-allowance'.

Splitting up the rooms so each kid has a fair share would be the hard part.

( A problem with this though is that they would just turn everything off the moment you get home. You would have to monitor the bill to make sure they aren't up to any tricks. )
