We're getting a Wii for my 7 yr. old's b-day. What suggestions do you have for games? Mommy is getting a wii fit for herself b/c I deserve it:D
 
My kids love MarioKart and Wii Sports (came with that one). The Star Wars Light Saber Duel (or whatever it's called) is also one they like to play. My 7 yr. old son also like Wii Playground (but I don't like it as much). He loves the Lego ones (Indiana Jones and Star Wars), but we don't own those yet. He has played them at friends' houses.
 
You will love the WiiFit! My 6 yr old loves Backyard Baseball and of course, the Wii Sports you get with the Wii.
 
Great gift!! MY almost 7 year old daughter loves Carnival!!! Any age really can play it!! MarioKart is another good choice!!
 
My kids Love mario cart and just about all the sports ones. Have fun!

We do not have a Wii but all our family mambers do.
