Your child picks a fun day out, gets a real budget, and has to make it work. They choose what to spend on, research prices, handle a surprise cost, build a schedule, and pitch the whole plan to you. Real budgeting with real trade-offs, not a worksheet with pretend numbers.
Ages 9–14 · Project guide · 3 skill levels
Your child picks a scenario and plans it against a real budget with real prices they research themselves. Then a surprise cost lands, and something has to give. Working out what to cut, and being able to say why, is where this stops being arithmetic and starts being judgement.
