Clifford games for k-2: http://teacher.scholastic.com/clifford1/games2.htm
Funschool.com – fun, grade-specific critical thinking games for elementary school kids.
Alphabet Animals- http://www.infostuff.com/kids/a.htm
Infostuff has the simplest ABC collection. There is one big image for each
letter, which you must step through in order — A, then B, and so on. The
graphics are big and could be useful in a group setting.
Preschool Playground: Print Me's With Letters –http://www.ctw.org/preschool/printme/character/0,1157,2163,00.html
Children's Television Workshop provides you with printable sheets for each
letter, featuring one of the Sesame Street characters on each one. If
your students like these characters, this may be a good resource for you for free
materials for your kids. You simply print the page, and they can color them!
Alphabet Soup- http://kayleigh.tierranet.com/abc.htm
"Alphabet Soup," from Kayleigh's Playground, is a home-cooked site for
little learners. Just moving the cursor over a letter in the soup bowl pops up
an item which begins with that letter. This is a very simple activity, but the
youngest learners will like the interaction and a peer-helper could also speak
the letters to add the letter names to the game.
Little Explorers Picture Dictionary - http://www.littleexplorers.com/Dictionary.html
Little Explorers Picture Dictionary links to many Web sites, including real
x-rays and other such online fare. This seems like a great way to introduce
young kids to the Web, and the alphabet remains on the top of the screen
throughout the activity to make it easy to return to the Little Explorers Page.
Alphabet Fun! http://www.billybear4kids.com/games/online/alphabet/abc.htm
Billy Bear's online Alphabet Games are interactive fun. Kids need little
"musing skills" to be able to play. The simplest games are initial
consonants; later games include finding letters on the keyboard, and typing in
missing letters from words with pictures.
