My in-laws gave my son an XBOX with the Kinect for his fifth birthday. We are able to download two games for free, and the 1st was was Fruit Ninja. Now we are trying to decide what other game would be best for him. We are looking for something straightforward that will keep him moving around. What's easy enough for a five-year-old that would be fun for him?
We dont gave the kinect, just the wii, but DS (almost 5) loves the Just Dance series and I know they have it for the kinect. He also wants that new Disneyland adventures game but since we dont gave the kinect, he is out of luck on that one.
My kids (4 & 6) love the Lego games - any of them! My daughter (6) also enjoys the Viva Pinata & Beautiful Katamari - bonus is you can get them used cheap. We got our son Toy Story 3 for Xmas and both kids have been enjoying playing it - both the story line and the free play mode in the "toy box" (my husband was even having fun with it!). If we had the Kinect, we would probably eventually get them the Just Dance because both my kids love moving and dancing.
All of the Lego games are wonderful. Star Wars, Batman, Pirates of the Caribbean, Harry Potter, Indiana Jones. We recently gave our son Disneyland Adventures for Christmas. It is good too!
for a 5 year old?
Just Dance - since you have the Kinect
LEGO Harry Potter
Viva Pinata - Party Animals
There are some sports games as well.
