The Best Wii Games For Kids

Best Wii Games: Wii Party

Appropriate for: Younger and older kids

ESRB Rating: Everyone

Price: $32.25, Wii Party

A Mario Party game minus Mario, this collection of 80 quick and simple activities is spread over a group of grander games that take between 10 minutes and an hour to play. For example, a dice-based board game has players dashing up a mountain between pit-stops that could have them racing to deliver pizzas or trying to keep a tall stack of presents from falling, while a vacation game might see players jumping over logs or solving simple two-piece puzzles on their way to collecting international souvenirs. Skill plays a role, but games are often random enough that kindergartners can compete on the same level as teenagers or parents.
