For the past month my family and I have been giving the XBOX Kinect a run for its money. We have been talking to Elmo, Grover and the Cookie Monster while walking the neighbourhood of Sesame Street. Throwing coconuts high, dancing in magic mirrors and having Elmo copy and tell us how awesome we are. He changes to his shirt to look just like us too! I am so impressed with the Kinect SesameStreet TV and the kids just love how interactive it is.
We have also been trying the Kinect Nat Geo TV and must say that this one is my favourite. Not only is it also interactive but it is also interesting and educational. It teaches how the animals live, act, catch food and basically survive in the wild. This is than incorporated into the interactive side and you or the kids become the animals. They use the same movements the animals do – jumping, leaping, head butting, pouncing, clawing, etc. the same as goats, lions, bears, the list goes on. I have found this to be a great work out for myself and an even better energy user for the kids.
We were lucky enough to be able to review these products and be loaned an Xbox to do so. We have enjoyed them so much we are now planning on buying the kids an Xbox Kinect for Christmas or more so Santa will. I just love that it combines new technology with knowledge, intereaction and appeals to every age. These fantastic games mentioned above are available in stores now.
