Wii Games for Preschool Children

Toddlers and Kids under 5

Finding a suitable Wii game for a preschool child can be tricky, as many of them require some reading, but there are a few that specifically cater this age group. Many games just need a parent to set them up, and once they're ready to play, the child can play mostly without reading. Racing games and other kid-oriented games like the Barbie and Disney titles will generally work well, plus Wii Sports and parts of Wii Play.


Go Diego Go Safari Rescue
Great for preschoolers. They will need some help navigating through menus and when something new appears on the screen, but this is one game they should be able to play mostly by themselves. Grown-ups can join in using the Dinosaur Guide Helper Feature on a second controller.



Cosmic Family
Great for toddlers, Cosmic Family uses a spoken and graphical menu system and instructions, so no reading is required.



Disney Princess: Enchanted Journey
For younger gamers who like Disney princesses. You can also have a friend play with you through your journey.



Kung Fu Panda
Fun game, easy to learn and play with lots of different options to keep it from getting old.



Imagine Party Babyz
You play a babsitter learning the ropes and must care for multiple babies. There are lots of minigames to play. This looks like it would be a terrible game, but it has actually gotten good reviews.
