Best Video Games for Young Kids

2008 was a great year for new video games designed young kids. The competition has become tough and game developers have become more and more innovative and creative to be the first to bring new video games to the market. Here are some of the best kid-friendly video games for young children. All of these games are violence free and do not contain any mature themes. You are sure to find a game that matches the age and interests of your child.



For young video gamers between 4 – 6 years old, we recommend Itzabitza by Microsoft Windows for personal computers. This game has a new drawing recognition tool that incorporates a child’s artwork into the game play. Kids can play in five themed worlds and interact with the characters by reading words and drawing object that come alive in the game. The game has voice-overs for all words to assist new readers. The game changes with each drawing making every game a new adventure. We also recommend Dora the Explorer: Dora Saves the Snow Princess by 2K Play for Nintendo Wii and DS. Kids help Dora with a rescue mission to free the Snow Princess by using 20 different motions with the Nintendo Wii remote. Kids will snowboard down mountains and explore underground tunnels. These are two of the best video games for young kids between the ages of 4 – 6.



For video gamers between 7 – 12 years old, we recommend Boon Blox by Electronic Arts for Nintendo Wii. Kids can create and destroy structures made of blocks by blasting, throwing, and catching the blocks using the Nintendo Wii remote. Stephen Spielberg collaborated with Electronic Arts to create more than 300 crazy puzzles to explore. The game offers both single player and multiplayer modes. If your kid enjoys playing Jenga or Legos, they will love this game. We also recommend, Roogoo by Electronic Arts for XBox 360. In Roo Goo, kids guide meteors that are shaped like squares, triangles, circles and stars through rotating disks to save an alien people named RooGoo from disaster. Kids develop their skills by correctly aligning the disks with the blocks. These are two of the best video games out there for young kids between the ages of 7 – 12.



If you are buying video games for a young kid, other than your own, as a birthday or holiday gift, please remember to ask what gaming systems they own before you buy the game.
