๐Ÿ’ฐ The Pocket Money Game for Edinburgh Families

Note: The Pocket Money Game is aligned to the KS1 and KS2 National Curriculum for England. Scottish parents will find the content relevant but should be aware of differences between Scottish Curriculum for Excellence and the English national curriculum, particularly in how year groups are structured.

The Pocket Money Game works entirely within the KS1 and KS2 National Curriculum for England, covering the statutory spelling word lists, curriculum-aligned maths across all six primary year groups, and comprehension stories matched to each reading level. Children earn configurable amounts of real pocket money for every correct answer โ€” parents set the rate, track progress, and pay out whenever they choose.

Every family in Edinburgh can try the game completely free for seven days, with no credit card required. The full game โ€” spelling, maths and reading across all six levels โ€” is available from the first day of the trial.
