We haven't really played any letter-recognition games. But if we're reading a book, or there's a sign, or something I'll say "what letter is that?" Well, past tense, she knows all her letters. What we've been doing is a lot of "what letter does $word start with?" She is really good at letter sounds now... I started that game in the car in Nov (we have a 30 min commute). So now we are working on putting words together. We'll get out paper and she'll say what she wants me to draw, and we'll write the word first (I'll guide her hand, I've seen her write letters before but for some reason is unable to or doesn't want to do it herself these days), and I'll help her sound the word out so we know what letters to write, and then I'll draw the picture underneath.

It's not so much playing games, but being exposed to it and wanting to learn it I guess.
