I want to improve my 10 year olds vocabulary

Hi I have a 10 year old who will soon be doing his 11+ and I want to help him to learn new vocabulary. Obviously he is reading plenty and I have downloaded the Nfer 11+ vocab sheets but the really seem a bit obvious and there were only about ten words that were new to him yet when we do practise papers words like midwife and nurseryman have him confused. Short of going through the dictionary does any one know of an appropriate resource of words that are suitable for his age group. I wish I could find a "learn 10 new words a day for 11 year olds". Any ideas!
