๐Ÿ’ฐ The Pocket Money Game for Manchester Families

Greater Manchester's diverse communities include large populations of children with English as an additional language, for whom structured spelling and vocabulary practice offers particular benefit. The area's strong tradition of community schools means parental engagement is typically high.

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 Manchester 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.
