Anything with Lego in the Title. I started playing Lego Batman with Josh when he was 4. Since then, we’ve played Lego Starwars, Lego Indiana Jones (before it cost £80 per copy!), Lego Harry Potter and finally Lego Pirates of the Caribbean. They’re all awesome (for both of us). Started off with me leading and him just following, now he leads, often comes rushing through to tell me he’s finished a level that I couldn’t do first time out. He’s only 6 now!
I also concur with some of the others above. Its about balance at the end of the day. We play about an hour per day, interleaved with learning numbers / reading / writing (if its raining – which in Wales if often is!) or biking / scootering / swimming / cricket. They’re growing up an electronic world. As long as its not the only thing they’re doing I think its a great way of learning problem solving and competing with yourself!
