Not quite ready to strap your child onto a snowboard? Keep them off the slopes and in your living room with Radica's PlayTV Snowboarder game. The snowboard was created to simulate true-to-life equipment and includes four games -- including Slalom Competition, Free Ride, Half-Pipe Competition and Big-Air Competition -- that let your child compete for style or time. So if you see them catching air and landing tricks on your carpet -- you may have just escaped a trip to the hospital. Retails for $43 and is meant for kids 8 and up.
Senario Waikiki Wipe Out
Whether they've hit the waves before or not, your kids are going to totally dig Waikiki Wipe Out -- a surfing game with an eight-way, directional tilt sensor surfboard control. You get five, built-in games and the sound gets louder with the speed and height of each wave. Score points by catching the next wave at exactly the right angle. Also not bad for helping learn balance. For kids 6 and up, retails for $30.
Dance Dance Party Mix 16 Bit TV Twin Pro Dance Pad
This is genius. It's Dance Dance Revolution without the console. Just plug your double dance pad into the TV and away you go. With arcade and fitness modes, it has 15 stereo-quality songs to groove to and includes four dancing heroes to play along with -- Sammy, Kio, Alva and Di-Bot. And you won't get stuck on one level either -- you can start with easy, make your way through normal and head all the way to hard. We love that this pad is for two people so you can dance together for fun or challenges. Retails for $130. (We also spotted this on Overstock.com for $55).
