Mac n cheese is a bit ambitious, no? Unless they are reheating?
How to put away laundry
How to set/clear the table
Which bus lines (or train) go past their house and where they go
How to buy something in a store (and get change -- my kid has forgotten to pick up change more than once!!!)
How to cross a neighborhood street at a traffic light (but at 8 I would not let my kid cross a major street -- this has more to do with drivers than it does with the child, tbh)
How to pack a bag for an overnight or a couple of nights.

DS and I made up a list for turning 7:
-Swim and pass water survival (get thrown into the pool fully dressed including shoes)
- Pump own swing (he was super late to this one)
- Tell time
- Tie shoes
- ride a two wheeler
- make own breakfast
- set a table
- do own laundry
It was fun to do big air-checks everytime he accomplished one.
Love the other suggestions for this coming year!

Op here.
Love these! Some are on our list or things he knows but we've got a great list now of things to learn. Ds was super excited to learn laundry. Less so when I told him he had to keep helping with it lol

DH and I are trying to figure out some life skills and things ds should know by the time he turns 8. Not education based. I'm talking things like
Riding a 2 wheeler
Tying shoes
Skipping
Those are things we know he should be able to do (and he does) but I'm crowd sourcing to add to that list!
TIA!!
