Best Wii Games for Little Kids
Ages 3+
Finding a suitable Wii game for young children 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.
The Dora and Diego Wii games are particularly good for little kids, and encourage exploration and learning.
Best Wii Games for Young Children
Ages 4+
A lot of games are geared at older children, and teens, and a lot of the very young kids get left out. There is not much of a broad variety of games for very young children when you go looking for them in game stores, and you certainly don't want to give a 5 year old a game that features blood, gore, and adult themes, but here's a list of Nintendo Wii video games that are geared at the young kids!
Mario Wii Games are Great for Kids
Mario has appeared in over 200 video games since he was created way back in 1981 and has taken on the role of Nintendo's mascot and has been a huge selling point together with lots of top selling merchandise. He is of course part of the hugely successful Nintendo Wii currently taking the world by storm.
Mario games really are the best Wii games for kids.

LEGO Wii Games
Ages 5+
The LEGO Wii Games are definitely some of the best Wii games for kids.

If you like LEGO or just want something you can play with a younger child, these are great.

Ages 5+
