A lot of times when we think about going on an educational outing the thought of planning and prepping for the outing becomes overwhelming. It is obvious to most that you can take your children to a museum, aquarium, library, or zoo but educational outings don't have to require planning or that you spend money.
Something as simple as a trip to the grocery store can be an educational outing. If you allow your children to do the following you have covered a wide range of subjects/ topics:
plan for the trip (i.e. the grocery list)
have a budget for them to spend
allow them to find the items in the store
compare prices
use coupons when feasible
check the nutritional value of the products that they are planning to purchase
In doing the things listed above you have provided a lesson in Mathematics, Reading, Finance and Budgeting, Nutrition, Organization, Critical Thinking and Problem Solving.
