Karate Kid and Aikido

I was saying last night in the dojo that I recently took the kids to see the new Karate Kid movie. There are many themes in the new movie that were in the first.
As you recall Daniel washed and waxed cars, painted fences, and sanded floors - in the new movie Dre takes off the coat, puts on the coat, picks up the coat and hangs the coat up. There is the moment when both students are exhaust of the repetitive and seemingly mindless activity and start to leave in anger.

OK, that said - we know it was an exercise in muscle memory.

So here is the question: if you were to take the same training approach as Mr Miyagi, or Mr. Han what repetitive and everyday activities would you require of your student?
