Free online games for Phase Two of the Letters and Sounds phonics programme. Click on a picture to play the game.

	Initial Sound Match Games To play these memory games, click a card on the top row to turn over a letter card then click a card on the bottom row to turn over a picture card. If the object in the picture starts with the same sound as the letter, you have found a match. If not, the cards will turn over so you can have another go.

	Buried Treasure In this game you can choose which letters you want to work with so it can be used even in the very early stages of Phase 2. Click to get a new coin then sound out the word. Drag the coin into the treasure chest if it's a real word and into the bin if it's not. This game would work well on an interactive whiteboard and is great for individual play too. Phonics Play Phase 2.
	Sound Buttons Blending Click on the tabs to choose which sets of letters you want to use. Click on the letters and drop them into the phoneme frame. As you click each letter you will hear its sound. Once you've placed the letters into the frame you can click the red buttons to hear each sound. This is a really useful resource for the interactive whiteboard from Kent Ed.
	The Dragons' Den In this game you have to sort the eggs. Real words belong to the green dragon and made up words go to the red dragon. Get it right and the dragon will breath fire. Get it wrong and he will only be able to puff smoke. Phonics Play Phase 2.
	Interactive Bingo When you start the game you will be given the option to print off the PDF bingo cards. There are four games to choose from for Phase 2, each with different sets of letters. Once you have got the cards printed (and probably laminated), you can play the game with the whole class using an interactive whiteboard. Click the "pull" button and the letters for one of the words will spin into place. From ICT Games.
	Picnic on Pluto Obb, the yellow alien, likes to eat fake words and Bob, the blue alien, likes to eat real words. Sound out and blend the words, decide whether they're real or fake, then drag them to the correct alien. Teaching Ideas and printable resources for this game from Phonics Play.
	Letters and Sounds Phoneme Pop Choose the set of phonemes you want to play with first of all. One of them will show up in the bottom right of the screen and you will hear its sound. All you have to do is click on the bubbles with the required letter, trying to make sure that they fall into the grey catching zone. Every 30 seconds you will get a new phoneme to catch. From ICT Games.
	Pick a Picture This provides practice in sounding out words using all of the letters in Phase 2. Sound out the word then click the matching picture. There are some useful teaching ideas and printable resources to go with this game from Phonics Play.
	Ladybird Lander In this game from ICT Games you click on the ladybird letters (single consonants and short vowels only), then click on a flower. The aim is to make words and practise blending. When you have made a word by putting a ladybird on each flower you can click the red buttons to hear the sounds.
	Foam Phonemes Use the arrow to rotate the wheel on the right to see different sets of letters. Then just click the phonemes you want and they will be fired out of the cannon to land on the water. Here you can drag them into position to make a word. Phonemes are sounded out when you click on them. Kent Ed.
