Review and GIVEAWAY!

 I was recently given the opportunity to review a new Wii game called Just Dance Kids. I also get to give away a copy! After you read the review, scroll to the bottom to see how you can win your own copy of Just Dance Kids, just in time for a Christmas present! The contest will only go through this Sunday, November 28th because I'm having surgery on Monday! 


 My winner was Jill at The Diaper Diaries!  Congrats!









 Instead of reviewing it on my own, I decided to let my 11 year old daughter be the reviewer!  

Here is Bailey's review:
I think that Just Dance Kids is very fun. The graphics were cute- kids were dressed in costumes. It was also cool that kids sing the songs.  Just Dance Kids  is probably best for kids 8 and under.  Even the older kid songs were a little young for me, but it was still fun.  My favorite song was the Hamster Dance- one of the younger kids songs.  That's the one that is in the video. It was my favorite because it was so funny.  The younger kids songs were perfect for kids 5 and under.  The background is also cute because each song has a different cartoon background. I recommend Just Dance Kids for any kids 8 and under- it would be a great gift! - Bailey






So, as you can see, Bailey and her bff Reece enjoyed it, even though it really was a little young.  There are a lot of fun things that happen during the song- like freeze and shake it- that earn you points.  For the younger kids, there are songs from The Wiggles and Yo Gabba Gabba! Even if the girls thought it a little young and probably would prefer the Just Dance 2 game, I still have caught them playing it quite a few times over the past few days!  It's an addictive and great way to get exercise and burn calories!


Here is Amazon's description:

Synopsis

When it comes to hitting the dance floor, you've got the moves, you just need room to rock. Really let your expression shine as you turn your living room into a dance floor, let the moves flow and rock out to your favorite tunes in the first-ever Just Dance title designed just for kids. Whether you're moving like the thunder in "Naturally" or going on safari in "Surfin' USA," there's only one thing you have to do to have a blast — Just Dance.
With more than 40 hit pop and hip-hop songs re-recorded by kids, for kids, plus TV-show favorites for little brothers and sisters, Just Dance Kids has the beats to get everyone moving. Bigger kids can dance till they drop in Dance Party mode for one nonstop stream of songs, shake it to the rhythm to earn bonus points in Freeze and Shake mode and team up with their friends to rock the dance floor together. For the younger crowd, beloved TV personalities like The Wiggles and Yo Gabba Gabba make getting into the groove as fun as tuning in to their favorite shows, and classic favorites like "Wheels on the Bus" let the tiniest tots enjoy the musical magic. As kids bust a move and party with their friends, parents can track how many calories they burn in this healthy game that never feels like exercise.

  4. Hey Becky.... I would give this to Lucy for Christmas, we have Wii and she is really into it, since she is going to be 4 in December and we are looking for more Wii games for her that would be age appropriate, I think this would be perfect. She loves to sing and dance and loves the Wiggles.
    Smiles and happy Thanksgiving to the Zemansky family. Good luck on your surgery. Jen Elie
