๐Ÿ’ฐ The Pocket Money Game for Glasgow Families

Note: The Pocket Money Game is aligned to the English National Curriculum. Scottish families will find the spelling and arithmetic content relevant and aligned to Scottish Curriculum for Excellence expectations, though year group labelling differs.

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 Glasgow 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.
