I second Anna's idea to include budgeting. Kids can learn about the different bills required in a household (mortgage or rent, insurance, utilities) and learn to budget for food. They can learn to match coupons to sales for the best deal. They can take an imaginary budget and a current grocery-store ad and make a meal plan for the week within their budget for a family of a certain size.
