Wii Whee at the Y: YMCA’s Use Wii to Get Kids Moving
Wiiiiiiii! (I’ve been dying to say that.) Kids at YMCA’s around the country have something special in store for them: Nintendo is donating W11 party packs to 100 YMCA’s, with the thinking that they will “help
bridge the gap between parents and their kids.” Which I’m all for. In
fact, even though I’m basically opposed to video games for all the
reasons other people are (not enough activity, addictive, too much
screen time and not enough book time, etc) I’m really really attracted
to Wii. Why? The physical aspects of it. (I totally need to cream my
eleven-year-old at Wii Sports to prove my prowess)
So YMCA? Sign me up.
Oh, and what I said about addictive? Never mind. I’m okay with that part.
