A mission, made on the spot
A grown-up picks the subjects, a soft skill and how long it should take, and adds an optional note about the family or the setting. Ily writes a mission nobody else has. Here is one.
What the grown-up asked for
- Subjects
- Maths and Science
- Soft skill
- Deciding
- Time
- About 45 minutes
- A note about us
- Loves baking; we have a neighbour who runs a stall.
Or tap Surprise me and let Ily choose. A random creative twist keeps every mission different.
What Ily wrote
The Pocket-Money Bakery
Today you're the owner of a very small bakery. You have $20 to turn into a plan, and a neighbourhood full of hungry customers.
Grown-up note: Be around for the ovens and for the neighbour question.
1. Pick your menu
Choose two or three things you could bake. Ask a grown-up which ingredients you already have at home, and write them down.
☐ I did this
2. Do the sums
Work out what each item costs to make and what you would charge. Which one earns the most for the least cost?
☐ I did this
3. Practise your pitch
Tell a grown-up in 30 seconds why they should buy your bakes. Speak slowly and look at them while you talk.
☐ I did this
4. Ask a real question
Ask a neighbour or relative what they would pay for one of your treats. Write down their answer and why.
☐ I did this
Think it over
What decision was hardest, and how did you make it?
What happens next
- The mission arrives as a draft only the grown-up can see.
- You read it, add links to videos or books you have checked, and give it to your child, or discard it.
- She does it in the real world, ticks off steps and writes a reflection that goes into her portfolio.
