Allowing children to make decisions about spending gives them a greater sense of responsibility.

Please note that this activity asks children to plan a real life trip for your group or organisation and will require a budget of your choice to be spent. This may not be suitable for all settings.

This activity is part of our range of Money Heroes resources for children with special educational needs.

These resources have been adapted to be flexible for use in a range of settings and with children of varying abilities or special educational needs. Rather than using age groups or key stages, each activity has been given a difficulty level, based on children’s financial knowledge, skills and understanding. Practitioners should choose activities based on the financial capability level of the children they are working with.

This is an advanced level activity – this level suits children who are ready to start building on their financial education knowledge and basic understanding with more challenging thinking and development of skills.
