Ok ive got my kids for the summer and thought Id see if there were any good wii games they might be able to play with their less than stellar coordination. Mostly i just play my gamecube games on it for them, like mariokart, zelda and lego star wars.

I only have a couple wii games and I havent had it too long. Ive got twilight princess and FIFA 2009 soccer...neither are that kid friendly. Is there anything worth considering getting for them?

Super Mario Galaxy, Boom Blox Bash Party (or original Boom Blox), Super Smash Bros, Lego Indiana Jones, Lego Batman, Mario Party, any of the Rayman Raving Rabbid games.

Definately any of the Lego games and Mario Party games. Wii Playground's pretty fun and easy as well. My kids also like MySims and MySims Kingdom, although I think some reading is involved so your 5 year old may or may not be able to play those.

Why would you be concerned about your kid's ability to play certain games? Most kids will beat the hell out of any adult at any game.

Try looking through Gamespot's list of top Wii games. Most of the top rates ones are good.

Super Paper Mario was pretty good, and I liked Resident Evil 4 on the PS2 so it's probably just as good on the Wii.

All my kids really enjoy MarioCart from just 5 to almost 10. Mario Party 8 is fun for them too, but it doesn't get nearly the play time that Cart does.

Mario Cart Wii, Lego Star Wars, and either of the Boom Blox titles are my 5 year old's current favorites. He likes the beginning levels of World of Goo also.

their coordination on the Wii is craptastic and theyve only finally gotten the hang of mario kart....kinda.

they didnt like mario party, I have it on the GC.

Ill look into some of these, they might enjoy one of the newer indiana jones or batman lego games, star wars legos was fun even to me
