Donkey Konga Bongos
What it is: A set of bongos, attached to a Nintendo GameCube, that let kids groove, pound, and control the video-game action by drumming.
The game: Donkey Konga 2 is the latest game for the Konga Bongos. Music plays as a cartoon gorilla slugs away at his onscreen drums. The challenge is to hit your drums right along with the multicolored arrows moving along the screen to earn bananas and points. Adept 4-year-olds will like it, but it's easier and more fun for kids 5 and up.
Why it's cool: Kids are usually pounding something in the house anyway, and this kind of game is the perfect thing to keep them busy and working on their jams. Not quite a seminar in astrophysics, but harmless fun for little Art Blakeys everywhere. Develops both arm muscles and a sense of rhythm. Young kids will probably also like Taiko Drum Master, a similar game (but for Sony PlayStation 2 rather than GameCube) based on a traditional Japanese form of drumming, which uses one large single drum and drumsticks.
Price: Konga is $49 with drum; Taiko is $48 with drum. Buy it!
