SearchHere’s a game to play with a friend. Read the story aloud to your friend. Tell them that every time they hear a word with a silent letter, they should stand up. If they miss the word or stand up at the wrong time, you must tell them to sit down.
Nicolas the (G)NOME woke up at the bottom of a hedge. His S(W)ORD was missing, his THUM(B) was hurting, and his (K)NEES were dirty. With a SI(G)H he remembered what had happened.
Last NI(G)HT in the CAS(T)LE he had sneaked some CRUM(B)S from the (K)NIGHTS table. By accident, he (K)NOCKED over a cup. He CLIM(B)ED on to the floor and (K)NELT to quietly pick it up but it was too late.
The (K)NAVE who W(H)ISTLED loudly had spotted him. With a flick of his (W)RIST he scooped Nicolas up and hurled him out of the window.
Luckily for Nicolas, he landed on the back of a LAM(B). CLIM(B)ING down, he slipped, rolled down the hill and into the hedge.
