Parents need to know that this is a gaming system that requires young children to get up and move. In addition to motivating activity, it also offers fun ways to learn colors, numbers, letters, and how to follow instructions. Unfortunately, some of the dialogue in the SpongeBob SquarePants game "Krabby Patty Showdown" is a little iffy -- the bad guy yells "Curse you, SpongeBob!" when he loses. Parents of younger kids may want to skip that one.
Educational value:Offers fun ways to learn colors, numbers, letters, and how to follow instructions.
We have been able to get some of the games to do what we want but the Sponge Bob games have been impossible. You hit one thing and the game hits something totally different than what the person hits. You try to make Sponge Bob walk, impossible! I think the idea is great but the game has a mind of its own and does what it whats and not what my son or I do. Its very frustrating. It has been a waste of money.
