Bingo, Memory, and Go Fish can all be played using the picture word cards from each sound site. While the pictures may be small, you can glue them on index cards for Go Fish. Another very fun game for younger kids is Snap! There are two different versions of this game.
Version 1: Print doubles of everything and glue on sturdier paper! Next, watch the video (it's short).

Version 2: Print these words, cut them out and glue them on paper so you can't see through them. Then, add in 5-10 cards that say "Snap!". Flip the cards up one at a time and practice saying the words. If a person draws a "Snap!" card they collect all of the cards from everyone!
Getting sick of doing the same phrases and sentences over and over? No problem! Print the words from the word list, cut them up, and put them in a container. Pick a word and create your own sentence. Want to get competitive? Assign points for each word depending on the word's difficulty (*hint* words with multiple syllables are going to be more difficult). Then whoever has the most points at the end wins.
No printer? Here's an idea...
Get a deck of cards (even a partial deck with missing cards will work!) and be comfortable with writing on them. Either a word can be written on the deck with the target sound, or if the child is a non-reader you can use shapes, numbers, letters, and colors. Many of these have target sounds. Some examples include: /k/ and /g/ goals: circle, square, triangle, rectangle, hexagon, octagon, 6, 16, green, gray, black, and the letters K, Q, and X /s/-blend goals: square, star, 6, 16, X, and basic drawings such as a spoon, a smiley face, and a spider /l/ and /l/-blends: yellow, blue, purple, black, circle, triangle, rectangle, L, W, 11, 12, and basic drawings such as a line, a hill, and a pail.
