Plan and run a swap day where kids take on someone else's role or responsibilities for a full day. A unique challenge that builds empathy, planning skills, and genuine appreciation for what the people around them do every day.
Ages 6–14 · Project guide · 3 skill levels
Your child takes over a parent's role for a day, properly. The cooking, the cleaning, the scheduling, the whole thing. Most of the learning arrives about three hours in, when they realise how much of it was invisible to them.
The skill of breaking a fuzzy problem into clear steps quietly compounds. Kids who practice it run their own day in their teens, their own life in their twenties.
