Ni Hao, Kai-Lan: New Year's Celebration
In Ni Hao, Kai-Lan: New Year's Celebration, Kai-Lan, the young Chinese-American heroine of her own Nick Jr. animated series, helps her friends and grandfather prepare for a Chinese New Year festival. They go through every step of the holiday. Preparation involves such activities as shopping for food, preparing traditional dishes, coloring and cutting out paper lanterns, and practicing a song with a band (which they later perform). When the celebration begins, they take part in a dragon boat race, a parade in which they carry floats, a dance, and a fireworks show. They even help clean up afterward.
It is Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi platform. The price is $ 24.99 in Amazon. It is player game and is developed by 2K.
Ni Hao, Kai-Lan: New Year's Celebration is one of the best DS games created for preschoolers. The dawn-to-night format, which begins with Kai-Lan waking her friends and ends with her washing dishes (which is actually fun), is genius. Not only does it make kids feel like they're really taking part in this marvelous cultural celebration, it also spices up the gameplay with a lot of variety. Helping the grandfather shop for ingredients is a sort of I Spy game, while helping him prepare the meals calls for Cooking Mama-style gameplay. The fireworks display involves tracing shapes with the stylus, while rowing in the dragon boat race becomes a rhythm game. It's all super-easy, but as the average Kai-Lan fan is still learning the alphabet, that's exactly how it should be.

LeapFrog Explorer Learning Game: LeapSchool Reading (for Leapster Explorer or LeapPad Explorer) is a collection of mini-games, each attached to a different character in the "school." The compilation includes some reading games, sorting activities, and games that encourage fine motor control and hand-eye coordination. The reading games are varied and some are certainly easier than others. Since the mini-games are designed so kids won't be completely stuck, parents should know that completing the game is not an indication that your children can read. Parents can connect the device to the LeapFrog Learning Path to get statistics for their child's use of the game, including how they have done with a particular skill. Kids can also connect to LeapWorld online (a virtual world with no social interaction) to purchase Micromods with tokens they earn from the game. These add additional content, themes, etc., to the game.
It is LeapPad Explorer and Leapster Explorer platforms and it is not available online. The price is $24.99. It is available on Amazon.
Learning Tools: Teamwork and Making Friends
Kids learn the value of teamwork and togetherness. Working well with others is a crucial skill for everyday interactions, school, and work. Winning a relay race requires each runner's best effort. Cast members in a school play must work together to get the play off the ground. These learning picks can help the kids see the value of teamwork.
LeapFrog Explorer Learning Game: Leapfrog Reading is definitely a strong game. The 26 different mini-games have plenty of repetition in terms of the general activity, but there is still enough variety to keep kids engaged and to appeal to a range of interests. There are also a lot of things to unlock and do. The characters are diverse and interesting -- kids will look forward to "meeting" them all. The reading games are also varied and help kids learn by presenting reading challenges from a variety of different angles.Some of the games in LeapSchool Reading get a little repetitive. Some involve slicing a line through objects as they float across the screen. They're technically different activities (saw a board, shred a paper, hatch an egg, break up a molecule), but the gameplay is basically the same. Another set involve quickly tapping on an object in a whack-a-mole-type style. And a third set asks kids to flick objects toward a goal (feeding a horse, feeding a dolphin). This is a game that will definitely entertain and educate. Kids will love exploring.
