I have done pairs and word bingo, but as anyone that works in the teaching profession knows these words can be obscure, providing little or no links, words with silent letter sounds at the begining such as wren,wrist and wrong aren't to bad but the silent c letters that appear in the middle of the words are more difficult to link together.
Any ideas for different word games for primary age, key stage 2, 7-11 years, would be helpful please.

mnemonics - let the children make them up themselves then they will remember eg 'bad eggs are useless' for the first syllable of beautiful or 'some children enjoy nose tickling' for scent.

I'm not a teacher, so I don't know if I'm going in the right direction here. I have no idea what key stage 2 is
Kids that age commonly have imaginary or invisible friends. Could you perhaps capitalize on that and have an invisible creature that is the keeper of these strange words. Of course, the kids would be able to see the creature, just as Big Bird could see Snuffleupagus (or maybe that's not important).
Perhaps a certain child could be asked to be the invisible creature's pal for the day and therefore would be the keeper of the special words.

crosswords using the words with silent letters to be filled in and easy clues to find them, or there is a junior scrabble game u can buy.
