Here are a few project ideas for a Family and Consumer Life Skills course, categorized for easier selection
based on your specific course focus:
Project 1: Family Communication Styles Inventory & Improvement Plan: Students will research
different family communication styles, create a survey to assess their own family's
communication patterns, and develop a plan to improve communication within their family. This
could involve creating a family communication contract or suggesting specific communication
strategies.
Project 2: Family History Project (Oral History & Digital Storytelling): Students will interview
family members to gather information about their family history, creating a digital presentation
(e.g., using video editing software, slideshows, or online storytelling platforms) that shares their
family's story and highlights important values and traditions.
Project 3: Conflict Resolution Role-Playing: Students will work in groups to develop and
perform role-playing scenarios depicting common family conflicts. They will then analyze their
performance, identifying effective and ineffective conflict resolution strategies.
Project 4: Budgeting Challenge Simulation: Students will create a realistic budget based on a
given income and expenses, then simulate unexpected events (job loss, medical expenses) to
demonstrate the importance of financial planning and emergency funds. They will present their
findings and strategies for managing financial crises.

Project 5: Comparative Shopping Project: Students will research and compare the prices and
features of a specific product (e.g., a laptop, a phone, a car) from different retailers, considering
factors like warranty, customer reviews, and financing options. They will present their findings
and justify their choice of the "best" option.
Project 6: Creating a Financial Literacy Guide for Young Adults: Students will create a guide
(e.g., a pamphlet, website, or video) targeted at young adults, covering topics like budgeting,
saving, investing, and avoiding debt.
Project 7: Meal Planning & Nutrition Analysis: Students will create a weekly meal plan for a
family, focusing on nutrition, cost-effectiveness, and dietary restrictions. They will analyze the
nutritional content of their meals using online tools or nutritional databases.
Project 8: Health and Wellness Campaign: Students will develop a campaign to promote a
specific aspect of health and wellness (e.g., physical activity, stress management, sleep hygiene)
within their school or community. This might involve creating posters, videos, or social media
content.
Project 9: Home Organization & Efficiency Plan: Students will assess their own living space (or a
simulated one) and develop an organization plan to improve efficiency and reduce clutter. They
will present their plan and justify their choices.
Project 10: Sustainable Living Practices Research & Presentation: Students will research
different sustainable living practices (e.g., reducing waste, conserving energy, using eco-friendly
products) and create a presentation to educate their peers.
Presentation: Require students to present their findings in a clear and engaging manner (oral
presentation, written report, visual aids).
Real-world Application: Emphasize the practical application of the concepts learned in the
course.
Assessment: Develop a rubric to clearly define the assessment criteria for each project.
Remember to adapt these project ideas to the specific learning objectives, available resources, and time
constraints of your course. Consider the students' age and prior knowledge when selecting a project.
The key is to choose a project that is engaging, challenging, and relevant to the students' lives.
