Literacy Skills Game Website

One of the centers in my classroom is to have 2-3 students on the computer during small group instruction. I have provided the students with a list of websites they are allowed to go on, however they keep ending up on a game called "Puke the Pirate". While I do not know the object of this game, I do know that it is not educational. The Bitesize Game Website can be played individually or as a whole class to review actual literacy and math skills. Each skill has a game associated with it such as "help Max cross the river by choosing the rhyming word." The website reads the question and the answer to the student which is an important auditory piece of learning. I am going to try having this website already up on the computers during my next small group rotation. That way the students can chose a game from this website only and I know it is education while they are having fun! This game website should come with a warning is noisy and would require headphones for independent computer time.
