the instruments in the woodwind family are:
flute
oboe ( i play <3 :) )
alto sax
tenor sax
bari sax
bassoon ( i play <3 :) )
[I did not touch the original answer. There's something to be said for someone who loves the Bassoon!
I will add to the list, though, and touch things up a bit, if I may.
The flute infers the piccolo, tenor and bass flutes. The oboe carries with it its relatives the english horn, Baritone oboe and Bagpipes. The family of saxes is larger than the four voices mentioned, but the extreme ones are even rarer these days than the Bari Oboe. Clarinets come in many sizes as well, from dinky tubes down to curled instruments that look like a plumber's nightmare, with the alto clarinet between the given bass and 'clarinet.' To the Bassoon must be added the ContraBassoon.
In addition, the French Horn has always been considered a member of the woodwinds, having been originally used with flute, oboe and bassoon before the addition of the clarinet to the orchestra.
There are other woodwinds worth mention, although not in common use or not used in Orchestras and Bands.
The recorder, often taught as a pre-band instrument, was actually very popular and desired from medieval times on, although it fell out of use in the early classical era, and was revived only around the turn of the 20th century. Research into other instruments from the time produced an amazing spectrum of woodwinds, easily identified as such since they weren't played with a brass-type mouthpiece. I won't name them all, but a little searching online with turn them up.
There are other instruments that straddle the line between brass and woodwind in a manner that make precise naming problematic: The Russian Bassoon, shaped like a bassoon but sounded with a brass mouthpiece and fingered using keys with bugle-sized pads; the Sarussophone, a similar beast but with metal leaves tied together into a double reed that does not have any wood associated with it,, and a gigantic family of pennywhistles which grace Celtic music today, which were invented in the 18th C as an easy-to-make and cheap-to-sell novelty. The penny whistle uses the same kind of mouthpiece as a recorder, but have been made of sheet metal until recently when recorder-ish wooden models have joined moulded plastic.]
