How Much Money to Give a Child for a Day Trip?

Paying for the school trip fee doesn't always close the budget needed for this pleasure. It's essential to decide on the pocket money to give your child, which they can spend on snacks (for example, during designated free time) or souvenirs if you both agree on this option.

Additionally, it's always safe to have a small amount of cash on hand in case of unforeseen situations, like needing to buy a band-aid for a blistered foot because you forgot to pack it at home. 

How Much Money to Give Your Child Before the Trip?

It's generally accepted that an amount of around 20 PLN - 30 PLN is completely sufficient when your child has accommodation, meals, and all necessary entry tickets covered. However, some attractions might be optional and require additional payment – if you have this information and your child is interested in participating, check the costs to ensure funds won't be insufficient on the spot.

What About the Money Left Over After the Trip? 

If during the school trip your child saved extra funds, it's worth considering what to do with the remaining money. First and foremost, praise your child and encourage them to save the leftover amount in a piggy bank. This way, you're teaching your child how to manage money wisely. You can also suggest that your child donates the unused funds to charity or simply keep them as "emergency funds."
