I don’t usually do non-book reviews, but sometimes something just grabs me, and I feel like telling everyone about it. In this case, it’s a Wii game we picked up on Friday — Just Dance Kids.<\/p>\n
I’ve gotten back into exercise over the past three weeks, mostly playing my Wii workout games, and I found my children were both into Just Dance 2, which I got for Christmas and think is a lot of fun besides being a great workout. In order to help get them more interested, I went out and bought two extra Wii motes in neon colors (and smaller for the kids), and the game: Just Dance Kids.<\/p>\n
If you’re familiar with the adult versions of the games, this is very similar. If you’re not, here’s what you do: Just dance. You follow the moves as best as you can (and they are ordinary, modern dance moves), with the Wii mote in your right hand, and the game rates your accuracy.<\/p>\n
The kids’ version is a little more forgiving, IMO, and there are some easier songs (although many songs are just as difficult), but every song requires you to move and SWEAT. The workout value of this game really was as good as Just Dance 2, and the kid-friendly songs help me incorporate my workout into my play time with my children. Anytime you can multi-task like that, I think a product is a winner!<\/p>\n
The songs range from very young child (i.e. ABC song, Wheels on the Bus) to family favorites (Celebration, Holiday). There are actually quite a few songs, and you can choose to filter by age if you like.<\/p>\n
Plus, my kids were never going to learn to dance from me — this will help them much more. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
I highly recommend this game for families with children of all ages. Have fun, workout, spend quality time together…it’s great!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
