Kid-Planned Family Dinner

Your child is head chef: they pick the menu, write the list, shop on a budget and cook – you're the assistant.

Time: 90 min
Age: 9–12 years
Energy: Medium
Where: At home

Older kids crave real responsibility, and running a whole dinner – from budget to serving – uses math, planning and time management all at once. Being thanked by the whole family for a meal they made is a big confidence boost.
