Teaching letter sounds

A game that has proven effective in teaching my oldest two children letter sounds has been "hide it" (I got the idea from a home school blog on family forum). The object of the game is to find a hidden object that starts with whatever letter the parent has called out. For example (if you've hidden a ball, bat, car, and doll) you would say, find the object that starts with the letter "D" and whoever brings the doll gets a point. Whoever has the most points at the end of the game wins! Although, the game seems fun it has really helped the children recognize letter sounds.
