This keeps them moving. I love the one mat works for one or two player mode.

We like the second one better than the first, and I have no idea why. I've video taped this one and plan on using it for bribes later. Once again, it gets the energy out!

This one is the Lego game they choose first. It seems to have something to do w/the monkey that appears in & out of the game. They also love swinging with a whip, being Shorty, & the themed levels of play.

This is similar to other Nicktoon games, but the levels and graphics are better than the previous. The boys also love getting "globbed" like all boys! :-)

Great game! Works on small motor skills & also teaches them force & motion. I like watching them strategically play, & they actually use the game as a model for real building of blocks & magnatiles.

This is just an all around, must have, gotta get game! Our boys get tons of play with it. They would go all day on this if we'd let them.

I was worried about this one being too violent, but there's no bloodshed. :-) The levels are interesting & morph as you play. At the end of each match, the characters that competed & lost clap for the winner. Good sportsmanship, & the boys clap now too!

Okay, so the rabbids are just plain kooky and goofy... but the boys love that! My five year old gets a kick out of just dressing the characters up. They play these mini-games non-stop.

I like it that it teaches them control with their swing. Harder and faster is not always better!! It also is teaching them to think ahead to placement of their next shot.

Almost didn't include it. I know I'm going to get raised eyebrows! They love this game, & the songs are just darn catchy. I had to add it to the list based on the energy output it takes to play & the fact they use arms & feet to play. The increase in coordination & rhythm for the boys has been tremendous. It's my wild card, but great for those of you that feel it's okay for boys.
