Top Ten Childrens Nintendo DSi Games

I made quite a successful hub on the Best DSi Games, and yet, some people found that my list did not really include anything suitable for younger children.  This may have been a mistake on my part, however it was MY top ten DSi Games, which are the games appealing to my mid-20's mind.  On this list I will be compiling the best children's DSi games available on the market today.

When I started bringing together my list of the top ten children's DSi games I had to consider many different angles.  Ranging from education to entertainment, I scoured the Children's DSi games to bring you the very best dsi games for children.

I will be listing the top ten children's DSi games here in this magnificent roll call, however some will be suitable for boys, others, girls, and some will be suitable for both.

Choosing the right DSi Game for your child is not as simple as gender though, remember to choose a game which looks suitable for your childs age, and mentality. It is also important to consider exactly what you want out the DSi game. Some are fantastic for improving your basic mental skills, others will improve your knowledge on certain aspects of life, and some just entertain. The best Nintendo DSi games for children mix entertainment with knowledge and mental skill building, without overloading the child.

There are thousands of children's Nintendo DS games out there for you to choose from, Making the right decision can not only be time consuming, but downright difficult!

So without further ado, lets start with number ten on our exceptional list of children's DSi games!

To start off my list of the top ten children's DSi games, I will be going for pure entertainment.

Chicken shoot is a great DSi game, which I even find slightly addictive myself. If you are looking for something to keep the kids quite (this is primarily a boys dsi game) then Chicken Shoot for the DSi will keep your children occupied at home, or on the move.

With several different game modes, scenarios, and 2-4 player co-operative modes, chicken shoot is a great childrens dsi game!

Chicken shoot DSi brings together a highly humorous cartoon based quick shooter, while it is mostly for entertainment it is also a great way to improve your child's reflexes with the Nintendo DSi!

Barbie - Island Princess is a great way to keep your daughter occupied with this great girls DSi game.  This game incorporates quite a few puzzles to keep your child thinking, while at the same time boasting an impressive musical score and cute characters.  This compelling blend makes Barbie - Island Princess one of the best girls DSi games on the market today.

Barbie Island Princess for the Nintendo DSi has a heartwarming story which is exceptionally well told in this adventure game for girls.  The only downside is that after this has been completed two or three times it does lose replayability value, a common problem with adventure games.  I would not worry about this too much though, as this game will take a long time for your daughter to work through, even if she stays with her eyes glued to her DSi.

While this is technically two games, both Playmobil Pirates and Playmobil Knights are some of the best children's DSi games to be released this chritmas (2009) They both have simple gameplay yet intricate plots to keep you interested!

The Playmobil brand has been taken from its inception as a hands on toy, to one of the leading portable DSi Childrens games. I have to admit I have spent more than a few hours on my old DS with the previous games from Playmobil at a friends house.

In Playmobil Knights for the DSi you go from a humble farmer to the weilder of magical weapons and controller of dragons.

Playmobil Pirates seems to aim for slightly older children on the DSi, with more complex gameplay, mini missions, ship upgrades, trading and more!

Both of these games make great childrens gifts, and easily make it in to my top ten childrens DSi games!

Remember though, buy these games for your children and you may not hear a peep from them for weeks, these Children's DSi games can be addictive!

For the young girls in your life who are pestering you for a pet, get them a Pony!

While this great girls DSi game may not be as good as a real Pony, your daughter will love this top DSi game.  in Pony Luv DS you can raise your pony, enter it in shows, races and competitions, and eventually get your pony to the top dog spot.

While this is not personally my cup of tea, these pet care games are generally a great way to keep the youngsters entertained, and maybe they will learn a thing or two in the process!

While I am not usually a fan of games ripped from films, I was pleasantly surprised by the demo of Harry Potter for the DSi (The full game can be pre-ordered for Christmas with the Amazon Price Guarantee!).  The Harry Potter game for the DSi boasts a long, humorous story line, regular plot twists and lovable characters.

While magic and wizards may not be every childs cup of tea, Harry Potter for the DSi will delight any child, boy or girl, who follows the wizards story. With it's enchanting playstyle and cutscenes, not to mention graphics that really show the power of the DSi, Harry Potter is one of the great DSi games to add to your collection.

I have to admit being rather biased in this choice, I loved the looney unes characters when I was little, and still love them to this day. Never the less, the Looney Tunes Cartoon Conductor is a great addictive game for your kids, mixing cartoon fun with musical mayhem to endear your children to one of the greatest artistic genres.

While Looney Tunes Cartoon Conductor (Also known as looney Tunes Cartoon Concerto) is a brilliant DS and DSi game, it does not fit all children, some do find it rather tedious or boring, fortunately once the kids have gone to bed you can give it a go too!

The New Super Mario brothers game for the DSi might not be that new anymore, but it is an amazing game that any child will love.  It's simple yet addictive gameplay shoots the new super mario bros. towards the top of my children's DSi games list.

New Super Mario Bros. DSi is a great game where you will have to stomp your way towards the end of the game.  It also includes a whole raft of power-ups to help you complete the game with style.

This is one of my all time favorite DSi games, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for some pick up and play fun!

I have always been a fan of brain trainer DSi games, and this is no exception.  Think Logic Brain Trainer for Kids is a great childrens brain trainer.  Infact Th!nk Logic Brain Trainer for Kids is one of the only childrens brain trainers available on the Nintendo DSi.

Brain Trainers are very important to help young childrens minds grow, especially with all the distractions in todays modern world.  Since Th!nk Logic Childrens Brain Trainer for kids is targetted just at children they will not feel overawed by any function of the Brain Training DSi game

Think Logic Trainer for kids is a great way to keep your children occupied, and increase their mental skills, all in one cheap package!

Pokemon SoulSilver is the latest in the Pokemon series, and promises to offer a huge range of multiplayer options as well as new pokemon and regions.

While I have used Pokemon Soul Silver in my top ten childrens DSi games list, Pokemon Platinum, or any other pokemon game, are equally entertaining to any young person!

Pokemon offers unlimited gameplay, with hundreds of pokemon to catch, and millions of tactics to help build a team which will defeat any other pokemon player.

While Pokemon is not a new game, but it is definately an easy game to pick up, and can be played by any age group. This is a game that you should definately own, for  yourself and your children!

The Learn Series on the DSi covers topics from Maths and science to geography. With the Learn series your child can use the Nintendo DSi to rapidly learn about the world around them. With an inbuilt age checker the learn series will provide hours of entertainment and education!

i have placed the Learn games on the DSi at the number one spot on my list because they are educational, fun and tailored for whichever age group you enter. These amazing educational tools will help boost your child through education, no matter what their age!
