If you’re looking to invest in a new hand-held console, the Nintendo DSi is one of the newest incarnations of Nintendo’s hand held legacy. It differs from the DS Lite in that it comes with two cameras and connects to the Nintendo DSi online shop. Of course, most consoles are useless without a library of video games to play, so today I wanted to take a look at some of the Nickelodeon games available for the DS.
Franchise video games are perfect for children, as I’ve said before, because kids are already invested in the storyline and are looking for more ways to interact with the franchise. They’ll love whatever you buy them as long as the game features their favourite cartoon characters. Here are a few noteworthy games affiliated with Nickelodeon.
Peppa Pig
There are 3 Peppa Pig games offered for the DS; two self titled games and the Peppa Pig Theme Park fun game. The first two games allow you to explore Peppa’s world and the Theme Park Fun game features 18 new activities to play as you accompany Peppa and her family for a day out at the theme park.
Dora the Explorer
If you’re not familiar with the Dora the Explorer series, Dora is a positive little Hispanic girl who teaches children Spanish, math, values and how to solve problems along with her monkey friend Boots. There are a multitude of Dora games for children to enjoy the Dora the Explorer world further.
Avatar
The hit western anime which is also now an M. Knight Shyamalan comes in video game form as your child plays as Aang and his band as they explore bending Earth, Air, Fire and Water while trudging through the Avatar martial art nations.
Great review on nickelodeon games for children. I believe that if you can keep children entertained while providing valuable learning lessons at the same time, this combination can exponentially increase the child’s learning capacity in all subject areas.
