Grateful Giveaways #4: thinkSMART Games for Wii and DS

by


This next giveaway is for younger kids as they get ready for back-to-school!

thinkSmart Games are fun and educational games for Nintendo Wii and DS handheld systems designed to keep children excited and engaged while they play!

  • Crazy Machines for both Wii & DS
    Think outside of the box and push the boundaries of creative thinking as you utilize random objects (anvil, rolling spheres and more!) to build a variety of increasingly complex contraptions that cause chain reactions. Big picture thinking, big fun and big points await in the construction of Crazy Machines!
  • Cosmos Chaos for DS
    When it comes to fun and educational games, nothing can compare to Cosmos Chaos! Funded by a Star Schools grant from the U.S. Department of Education and developed by PREL (Pacific Resources for Education and Learning), Cosmos Chaos! is a collaborative effort on the part of talented video game developers and respected experts in the field of educational research. The result? An exciting and challenging reading game that’s as fun as it is educational!
  • Labyrinth for DS
    Based on the popular board game, Labyrinth drops players in a series of mazes where logical thinking and problem-solving skills are the only way out. Move the walls with the stylus and discover all your treasures in the labyrinth before your opponents do!
  • Scotland Yard for DS
    The chase is a-foot! Scotland Yard is searching for Mister X in London, New York, Berlin, Paris & Amsterdam. Deductive thinking and procedural logic are key as players aid the famous detectives in the capture of the elusive Mr. X.

Our kids love their game systems, but we try to monitor the games that they’re playing closely, which is why we really appreciate companies like thinkSMART that really put forth a concerted effort to produce games that are both fun and educational. My kids were so excited to see a stack of new games to try out, and I feel good knowing that they are actually learning valuable lessons and skills from each of them. They really held their attention and challenged them to think outside of the box.

    I think we would like the Crazy Machines game best. We love to build things around here, especially reusing objects found around the house. It sounds like this game would be right up our alley!
