Mom Says:  I think Thomas (5) is the most addicted.  Every single time we get anywhere near the living room, he asks, “May I play the XBox?”  He has been doing Barbie Girl & Kung Fu Fighting over and over.  So funny!  We have had a blast with this version of Just Dance and it is our first one for the XBox Kinect.  I must say, the XBox does a much better job of seeing you than the Wii does, but we love Just Dance either way!  I forgot to take pictures of us playing, but trust me when I say that watching my husband slap his behind to Ring My Bell was absolutely hilarious!!!

My Thoughts

I love that membership is for the Reading Kingdom and the MathBlaster, so my reader loved the Reading Kingdom and my math lover loved MathBlaster.  My son loves to read and loves animals, so he was excited about hatching an egg, but couldn’t since I’m not a member.  I would strongly suggest becoming a member over trying to play for free, because it really is no fun unless you are.  Both of the sites tell you what you should do in order to progress, which is nice.  My kids really enjoyed making their own names and avatars!  We had a harder time with the MathBlaster, because my son is a lot slower in math, but loves watching others play video games, so he was excited to try it out.  It took us a good hour to actually get to math games, so if you have a non-math lover, they will really enjoy the pregames enough to keep them going a little longer.  We tried the angle game, but didn’t read the instructions well enough and had no idea how to figure out the angles, so he exited pretty fast!  He was shaking, because he was so hyped up!  For kids that love video games, these are great for helping learn and have fun!  I think it would be great for summers, because the kids need entertainment and to be able to learn!

 Buy it!

You can buy your own membership, monthly for $8.99, Annual for $74.99 or Lifetime for $149.99!
