Clear answers to help you get started
If you’re considering a FutureMakers 7-Day Challenge, these answers will help you understand how it works, what to expect, and how to get the most value for your child.
What are the FutureMakers 7-Day Challenges?
FutureMakers challenges are short, practical activities designed to help children build real-world thinking skills.
Each challenge focuses on one key skill — such as decision-making, communication, or understanding money — and is completed over seven simple sessions.
How long does each session take?
Each session takes around 10–15 minutes per day. The format is designed to fit easily into family routines without feeling like another long lesson or course.
Do I need teaching experience to use these resources?
No teaching experience is required. Each challenge includes simple parent scripts and guided activities that make it easy to lead the conversation with your child.
What ages are the challenges designed for?
FutureMakers resources are designed for children aged 9–16.
Each product includes age guidance so you can choose the challenge that best suits your child.
Will this feel like extra schoolwork?
No.
FutureMakers challenges are designed to feel more like short missions or conversations rather than lessons. There are no grades, no tests, and no performance pressure.
Can my child complete the challenges independently?
Some children may complete parts independently, but the activities work best when parents and children explore them together. The goal is conversation and thinking — not just completing a worksheet.
What if my child learns differently or struggles with focus?
Many families adapt the challenges to suit their child.
Sessions can be:
• split into shorter parts
• discussed instead of written
• repeated if needed
• adapted to your child’s pace
The structure stays simple and flexible.
What happens after I purchase a challenge?
After purchasing, you will receive an instant digital download so you can begin the challenge straight away. You can print the materials if you prefer, or use them digitally.
Can I use the challenges with more than one child?
Yes. FutureMakers resources are designed for family use, so you can use them with multiple children in your household.
Do the challenges need to be completed in order?
Not necessarily.
Each challenge focuses on a specific skill, so you can choose the ones that feel most relevant to your child.
You can also move through sessions at your own pace.
Are these challenges suitable for schools or groups?
FutureMakers resources are primarily designed for families, but some parents and educators also use them in small group or homeschool environments.
What skills do the challenges focus on?
FutureMakers challenges focus on real-world thinking skills such as:
• independent thinking
• decision-making
• communication
• critical thinking
• problem-solving
• understanding money and value
• responsibility and character
These are the kinds of skills children rely on throughout life.
