what are good wii games for a 4 yr old boy?

Question

for a birthday gift. any others beside wii play? some that are easy for him to follow, and possibly a learning type game. mario, zelda and such deal with story i don't think he can play and understand.

you've got to be kidding me? you all sound as if the wii has all those violent games for older people. it's geared toward everyone! i know most wii games are for older children, but i'm sure there are at least one or two games out there meant for learning for his age. vtech and others have learning type games of their own for his age, so this is nothing new. and no i don't expect him to sit him all day in front to play it. conclusions conclusions

btw i know this is nothing new,but why answer if you don't have one that helps the question? keep your rude comments to yourselves they arent' helpful

Answer 1

My niece is turning 4 next month, and after playing Wii Sports with me at my house my brother decided to buy one for them.

They recently got a Shrek game that she can play and really enjoys.

I tried to help her learn several of my games, like Cooking Mama, Elebits, Zelda, Paper Mario, etc. but they were too involved.

We found that if we play Mario Party 8 along with her (it's set up like a board game with mini games) and we practice the mini games before we play them for "real," she can follow along fairly well. Granted, we are helping her along at this point because she can't read, but she has a great time and it's nice to have the "grown ups" playing with her, it makes her happy.

Also, she has been able to play Warioware. Warioware is a game full of minigames. We picked which games we thought she could handle trying and then let her go at it. She is able to do a pretty fair amount of them because they are simple and grouped well. They put them into groups of how you use the Wiimote, like turning it, spinning it, twisting it, etc. It helps them learn how to do one motion with the Wiimote well, and it enforces it by having them to that motion over and over in different ways.

Super Monkey Ball Banana Blast is ok. It has less mini games that she is able to do, and some are a little more sensitive and complicated, but if you can't find anything else it is plausible. It can be a little frustrating, because as a parent of a child the same age I'm sure you know they want to play all the ones you know are too complicated for them, but it isn't a total loss.

And as a side note, you can't underestimate these little kids with the Wiimotes. My niece, at 3 and 4 months, was consistently bowling over 225 in Wii Bowling. It drove us crazy! She'd just wing her arm and get a strike almost every time. So really, you never know what they are capable of until they get some practice I guess!

Answer 2

A Wii is a fairly sophisticated system, given it's online capabilities, customizing options, download options and the like, so you may want to stick with something a little more simple. You could pick up a Super Nintendo at a yard sale or pawn shop for a very small amount of money, and the games are simple (and still fun and entertaining, I'm 17 and I still enjoy them). However, if you insist on the Wii, then Wii Sports and Wii play would be good for your kids. All the really involve is simple movements with the Wii remote, although they're still fun. Hope this helps

NO WII GAMES ARE GOOD FOR A 4 YEAR OLD CHILD.
let your child have some kind of imagination other then the tv you sit your poor child infront of everynight as*hole

Answer 6

Is a 4 year old coordinated enough to use a wii?

Answer 7

I really don't think that would even register until he is around 7. I realize you want to give a great gift...but...he will get frustrated, and that is never good in a four year old.

Answer 9
