๐Ÿ’ฐ The Pocket Money Game for Sheffield Families

Sheffield families are well-served by a network of excellent libraries and learning centres. The city's strong community identity means word-of-mouth is one of the most powerful channels for educational resources โ€” families tend to share what works.

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 Sheffield 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.
