we actually had a laminated list on the fridge when the kids were little.
and they knew very well what happened when they broke them, enforced by mom and dad.
they're all grown, now, and are wonderful humans, thanks be to God and not us.

How long was the list?
What actually did happen? Telling off? spanking? Frowny face?

There were tons of rules in my family growing up. Most revolved around no backtalk, finishing homework before TV, doing our chores, no cursing, being polite to elders and family friends, helping our parents without whining, not arguing with our siblings, practicing our musical instruments, keeping our rooms clean, going to bed when told, being home before curfew, taking care of our things, not messing up the house, etc. They weren't written down; we were just told. If we broke the rules, we usually were grounded (not allowed out except school and church for a period of time, depending on the severity of our 'crime') or had priveledges withheld such as no phone, no TV, no dessert, etc. Both parents enforced them.
not too long. big print. if one of the kiddos hadn't leaned to read yet, the others made sure they knew what it said.
things like obey God (numero uno), be kind in word and deed, clean up after yourself.
they were put out of the house and made to live in the garage for disobeying the rules, of course.
