We can save money by spending less in our everyday lives. Food is one area of our lives where we can consider reducing our spending. Your task is to design a meal that costs just £5!
When designing their meal, consider: a. What your family likes to eat? b. What dietary requirements do your family members have? c. What equipment will the family need for cooking?
Draw your plate and label the cost of each element onto your plate.
This is a great challenge that you can complete as a family, designing a family-time activity that costs no more than £20.
You could share the examples below to inspire them:
A home cinema night; rent a film, and buy popcorn and treats, then put cushions on the floor and close the curtains to make your own cinema.
Pizza restaurant; make your own dough bases and take orders for toppings, then cook the pizzas and serve them like they would at a restaurant. You could even design your own menus!
We look forward to seeing your family time plans and photos of your family activity.
