Middle School Budgeting Sub Plan (No Prep): Plan a Class Party, Grades 6-8

Students plan a class party for 24 with exactly $120 to spend. It's a budgeting day that feels like a game, and a sub can run it with no finance background. They learn five budgeting words (budget, fixed cost, per-person cost, running total, trade-off), then build the party from a printed menu, where some items cost a price per guest and some cost one flat price.
