St. Patrick’s Day Budget
In this activity, students will be presented with realistic scenarios that include specific budget restrictions, guest counts, and event requirements. Students will be tasked with planning a holiday party within the given budget. They will create an itemized spending plan that includes categories such as food and decorations. Students will use provided price lists to calculate costs, determine quantities, and ensure their total expenses do not exceed the budget limit. If they go over budget, students will plan alternative options. In the activity, students will justify their financial decisions and explain how they prioritized certain expenses while staying within their budget constraints.
