Spending on a Budget Money Worksheet
Engage Students with a Fun and Interactive Budgeting Worksheet!
Teach your students the essential skill of budgeting with this fun and engaging money activity. Designed to motivate learners through a realistic and interactive task, this resource encourages students to make thoughtful financial decisions while staying within a set budget.
In this activity, students imagine a day out at a show or carnival with a $200 budget. Using a vendor’s website or provided examples, they choose items like entry tickets, rides, show bags, food, and drinks. The challenge is to spend as close to the $200 budget as possible without exceeding it. This resource includes a clear itemised worksheet for students to list their purchases and calculate totals, making it both practical and educational.
With two versions included—one blank for custom budgets and venues, and one pre-filled with an Aussie currency template and $200 Royal Show example—teachers can tailor the activity to suit their class. Students can also practice estimating and revising their spending by drafting a budget before completing the final sheet.
Perfect for introducing budgeting skills, this resource fosters critical thinking and problem-solving while providing a hands-on learning experience. Save time and make money lessons interactive and enjoyable with this ready-to-print digital worksheet.
