My son is the most excited package receiver…ever. At 7 he will still bound out of the house, off his scooter, out of the van to get the mail. He was about 5 when I started blogging, so for him the packages that arrive at our doorstep seem very normal. His teen sister only gets excited when the package is obviously for her. My tween daughter occasionally has her interest piqued by an odd-shaped or curious looking package, but mostly lets her overzealous brother do the tearing open of the packages.
I let slip that a package arrived while my son was at school one day. There was no turning back. I had to let my son open the package as the Thanksgiving Holiday was in the offing. As a reward for doing his homework without complaint, chores with pouting, and bedtime without shenanigans…he earned the right to play Just Dance for Kids.
He’s old enough that he tore open the game and commenced playing without any assistance from me. I heard the music from the other room. He was happily occupied for close to 30 minutes before I poked my head around the door of the family room. I saw him waving his arms madly and dancing up a storm. I don’t think I have seen him dance that wildly since the school Hoe Down where I feared for his partner as he swung her about the square.
Just Dance Kids was a hit both from the perspective of watching my son cut the rug and my trip down memory lane listening to the songs on the game. A sampling of songs…
- Naturally
- Kung Fu Fighting
- Here We Go Again
- Surfin USA
- One Time
We have yet to play the game as a family as our house was hit by the stomach bug. Yuck. My son can vouch that he loved Just Dance Kids for the Wii system.
The game has a huge selection of favorite songs, crazy dances, and all-new kid-friendly game play. The over 40 fun dances were created by choreographers and led by kids. As we know kids love watching other kids singing, playing, and acting on screen. My normally only plays Lego Star Wars games son was totally engaged in the dancing as he followed the moves of the kids on the screen.
