For £4.50 monthly, teachers get an AI assistant that actually listens. IRL PLAYground's Nalae AI helps design playful lessons. It automates the tedious prep work that eats up evenings. Nalae generates themed lessons. Manages teaching calendars. Exports everything for offline use.
Most lesson planners feel generic. This one doesn't.
Picture a Year 3 teacher planning a week around dinosaurs. She talks to Nalae about her class's interests — generates a complete theme with activities, schedules lessons in the calendar, and prints materials for the classroom. The AI adapts as it learns about her students and teaching style.
Free Seed plan covers basics like templates and calendar access. Paid plans unlock Nalae AI, custom routines, and integrations with existing tools. There's a community forum where teachers share resources and a growing library of templates. Email notifications keep lesson schedules on track.
Primary school teachers juggling multiple subjects will appreciate the storytelling tools integration. IRL PLAYground promises "magic ready for the classroom" through its AI assistant, though you'll need to pay to access that magic. Calendar syncing works with third-party systems you're already using.
The 12.5% annual billing discount makes the Spark plan reasonable for cash-strapped educators. Navigation between features feels intuitive enough that you won't spend precious planning time figuring out the interface. Export capabilities mean you can take lessons offline when classroom tech inevitably fails.
Magic costs money here.
