Hi!

Although I'm already using my new Wii, I actually bought it for my 5yo daughter's birthday next month
I will have to hide it when she visits hehe unless she wants to 'open' her present a month early
What games are suitable and loved by kids, particularly 5yo girls?

I have the Sports pack cd which came with the Wii (no extra hardware).

Cheers!

Oh wow. I'm out of ideas all of a sudden. There's plenty of Wii games out there based on a lot of the recent Animated Movies, e.g. Bee Movie, Happy Feet, Cars.

there are lot of "girly" type kids games like disney princess enchanted journey ,hannah montana , brats ,and the movie type games like happy feet and such ,cooking mama is a good easy game .

my kids play alot of lego starwars (but we're all starwars fans).

lately my son (4yrs)is playing mario kart and starwars my daughter(8yrs) play's alot of games no real fave that i can see (too many to choose from i think)

My 4 year old daughter loves Mario Party 8. I just tell her what the controls are for each of the mini gmaes and away she goes, she does the rest and as one a few games on the easy mode. Only drawback is the game can take a while unless you put it on 10 turns.

I would try hiring the games for a try before you go spending your hard earned on something she might not enjoy.

Thanks everyone.

Elphin: Yeh that was my idea. My local Video Ezy hires them out so I might pop along to them this weekend and see what she likes

Will have to check out the others suggested above.

Well my little girl who was 3yrs old is only new to playing games. I started her on Diego Safari Rescue (she's a Dora Fan) so she could get familiar with the controls which is tilt left/right shake and button 2 and she picked it up very quickly (thats my girl).

Shes now playing Mario Kart and has fun (she hits the walls alot so I set it up for battle and drives all over the place) She trys to do yoga/steps/skiing on wii fit and fails miserably but still has fun.

I guess it really depends on what your little girls into and if she has played the wii before. If a game is too complicated for then they tend to loose interest quickly and throw the controller around and you don't want that.

I friend whos a QA at Krome Studios tested spyro awhile back and said it would be good game for kids but I haven't tried it yet.

She loves Dora so I might try that Diego one. She plays Diego and Dora online on the website through flash games using the keyboard (she figured it out herself) so she should be able to play this fine. I will hire it from Video Ezy

Really? It reminded me of lemmings in a lot of ways just in that unstructured way to accomplish tasks, thought that would have been way more entertaining than half the crap that comes out

Really!! My daughter likes theses www.nickjr.com/ I occasionally sit down with her help play them with her. She points and I click

Robtot said: Lol how come no one has said boom blox yet



HAHA, my daughter would actually throw the remote.. Even I get frustrated when it doesn't hit the blocks the way i want it to, I feel like throwing the remote across the room. My daughter doesn't have as much patience as me, my plamsa would be destroyed in 5 minutes of her playing it.

LOL, you could always give her a resident evil game and scare the crap out of her so she won't play the wii ever again then you can have it all to yourself......

My 5 year old LOVES playing the sports - bowling, tennis and baseball - and of course i love playing with her - it is so much fun!!! I didnt realise there was a Dora game??? Is there??? If there is I would get it in a flash - my girl loves Dora. And i have seen a barbie looking one which i know she would probably love too.

But I cant wait to get Wii Fit - it sounds like she will enjoy that - and i also cant wait to get Mario Kart - i think she will like that too.

Nahh I don't think there is a Dora game (don't know why there isn't). Like you I would get it in flash!! Closest thing is Diego Safari Rescue "Dora's cousin" which is a real basic game.
