Starfall
Photograb
Word Ahead
Make-A-Word
Word Family Sort - ReadWriteThink
ABC Match - A classic 'Memory' game wherein students match pictures with their beginning letter sounds. Pretty basic, but would be great for young students who need work on that skill.
Acrostic Maker - This might be a fun one for older kids, though I think it might require a lot of guidance even for them.
Comic Creator - This one is very cool as well. Choose how many panels, insert different characters, props, and word bubble. Might take a little longer than 10 minutes, but could be worth a try.

Online Literacy Resources/Games for YWREADS
Starfall - An assortment of reading/sound games. Good stuff, and the kids know and enjoy them.
Photograb Games - I made these myself and could make more. I tried it out on a few kids and they like it OK. I think I could design them so that they enjoy them a bit more.
Word Ahead Vocabulary Videos - A bit advanced for most of our kids, but it can't hurt.
Construct A Word - This is something all of our students could benefit from. It's a simple onset-rime game; the player joins the first consonant of a syllable (onset) with the ending (rime). Pretty fun, too!
Storyline Online - Celebrities read great children's books. Awesome and free! (Update: And it doesn't seem to work. Grrrr. I will write to Brad about this one, becuase it is seriously awesome. Let me know if it works for you.)
Kindersite - This is a massive listing of kid-safe online games. I will go through this later this week and pull out some good ones. (Update: Finding out that a lot of these links don't work. I'll sift through them.)
