4. Animal Crossing
Animal Crossing is a real time game, meaning that the clock coordinates with the real clock so the sun rises and sets at the same time. Seasons also change. The little ones get to fish, earn bells (the village currency), work in the garden, socialize with neighbors, and furnish their own house all in a village setting. Characters can be transferred from one game system to another by using a memory card, so you child can share their character with their friends. The village starts small but grows as both people and animals move in and out. Older games such as Donkey Kong can be played, but only by doing favors for other members of the village. The game not only teaches children to share and cooperate with others, but it also helps with reading and writing.
