Find the silent ‘k’ words.
This is for the whole class to join in, like a chase me game.
Read out a word to a child and they have to tell you if it’s a word beginning with ‘n’,
a silent ‘k’ or could be either. Ask each child in turn. They stay standing if correct
and sit down if wrong, until you get a final winner.
