The Wii is a video game system that many people are now playing. A lot of people probably think that video games are not at all educational, and kids should not play them. In a lot of homes, kids sit down on the couch, and play video games all day. In that case, I can understand how someone might be against them because they are not helping the kids physically or mentally. But, the Wii does both of those. How physically may you ask? Well, with the Wii, you are standing up and moving around.

For example, the sports disc has baseball, golf, bowling, boxing, and tennis. In order to play any of those games, you need to be standing up and swinging the Wii remote around like a baseball bat, or a golf club. How mentally now? Well, there is also a Wii Fitness and it helps kids stay fit, and learn how to play games. I think that the Wii program is really great for kids of any age, even adults!
