Take on the ultimate home setup challenge with this exciting and interactive workbook! Designed to engage learners in budgeting, planning, and researching real-world living expenses, this activity invites participants to furnish their very first studio flat using a budget of just £1,500. From kitchen appliances to bedroom essentials, learners must find everything they need online and track their spending along the way.

This workbook is packed with practical learning opportunities, encouraging critical thinking, problem-solving, and digital literacy. Learners will search online retailers and second-hand marketplaces to find the best deals, complete a budget tracker, and collect evidence of their purchases through screenshots or snipping tool captures. Every item on the essential list must be purchased—but savvy shopping can even earn bonus points through free finds and extra home comforts!

Extension Ideas – For higher-level learners, additional challenges bring an exciting twist! These include designing a layout of their new flat using tools like Canva, creatively positioning furniture, and making the space feel like home. Mystery cards can be drawn to introduce random financial boosts or setbacks, adding unpredictability and testing adaptability. Learners are encouraged to compare costs, evaluate value for money, and make strategic choices to stay within budget while maximising their space and comfort.

Ideal for classrooms, group activities, or independent learners, this workbook makes financial planning and home design both fun and meaningful!
