Wii Wii Wii All the Way Home

The kids (and by virtue, us parents) got a Wii for Christmas. It's been fun to play and work on getting those higher scores and lower your Wii age. The problem comes when one child gets a lower Wii age and the other gets upset. Or, if they play a 2 player game - there's a winner & there's a loser - and the loser often doesn't take it well. We're working on that one. One thing we've found that has worked (and given the parents the ability to get some time on it) is to have the kids read for time. For however long they read - 15 min, 30 min, etc. - is how much time they get to use on the Wii or computer - their choice. 2 birds, 1 stone. They need to accomplish their Accelerated Reading for school, and Danny and I enjoy playing on the Wii too! :-)

So far the favorite games are bowling, baseball & Mario Kart. What's yours?
