Beginning Sounds Online Game

I stumbled across a perfect online game to work on 5 beginning sounds.  The website is customizable so you can add the 5 sounds that you want to work on.  The only down side is that you can only use single letters, so no blends.  Some of the pictures are the same ones that are a part of February's beginning sounds - tent, leaf, cake, moon, and cookie from last month.

I did this activity on the SMARTBoard with my students and they loved it! I was actually amazed at what they were able to do.  Then we did it again later in the week when we had a few extra minutes at then end of the day and they still enjoyed the activity.  Below is a screenshot from the game.  All you need to do is to click on the correct beginning sound (the boxes).  My class did have some trouble as they all thought that you had to drag the picture down to the box, but they quickly learned the meaning of the word, 'poke.'
