Swinxs Encourages Outdoor Exercise
The new Swinxs game console, designed and developed in the Netherlands, is unique in a sense that it has no screen and can be taken outdoors. Where Wii is trying to get children to move more, this console really does the job! It plays old-fashioned games with kids like hide-and-seek, running, jumping and ball-trowing, but it also quizzes them to calm them down, or even reads them bedtime stories. In addition to what it comes with, new games can be downloaded for free via the dedicated website!
