Plan a Family Vacation--$5,000 Budget

Students will have fun with this real life budgeting lesson as they plan their very own family vacation.  Students must budget for the family members that live in their household, and must stay with a $5,000 limit.  There is a Presentation to discuss all the rules and an excel sheet to help with their totals.  As they plan their trip students can create a PowerPoint or a Google Slide that documents their itinerary.  The presentation needs to include all expenses and their total cost of the trip at the end.  It is so fun to see everyone’s different takes on a perfect family vacation.  Some students will want to explore far off destinations and others will go to a local park and enjoy a fun family camping trip.
