Description

Your child plans a dream trip within a fixed budget, looking up real-ish costs for travel, stay, food, and activities, and making trade-offs to fit the total. A playful way to work with money and planning.

Play guide

  1. 1Agree a destination your child dreams about and a fixed total budget in your local currency.
  2. 2Break the budget into rough categories together, such as getting there, somewhere to stay, food, and things to do.
  3. 3Have your child look up or estimate real costs for each category and write them down.
  4. 4When the total goes over budget, ask them to find trade-offs (a cheaper stay, fewer days, a different way to travel) until it fits.
  5. 5Let them present the final plan and explain the choices they made to stay within the budget.
