A strong cartoon feel and animated sequences make this well rounded entertainment.

Rather than warning families about which games are inappropriate, we suggest which games each age group will get the most out of.

The best games for toddlers, very-young children and pre-school kids from 3 to 6 years old.

These games work with the basics of play and should easily engage the super young players in our families.

Simple and easy controls and bright colours engage young players in some educational and informative games.

Massively engrossing, and with something to appeal to everyone.

For very young players the simple controls, worlds to explore, train and horse rides make this simply outstanding.

Surprises and secrets abound in this multiplayer platformer perfect for student players to crowd around.

Add to this the Wii U version that enables a fifth player to take charge of the choreography with the puppet master mode and you have the most all-age-friendly of family games.

You have the option to see how age appropriate each song is and the dancers are all of the younger variety.

Keeping the classic Just Dance play style by choosing songs that suit the younger player make this ideal for young families.

Provided the pointing doesnt frustrate this is the best makeover game on the Wii to date.

The matching animal noises to Wii-motes is ideal for toddlers and pre-school kids.

The board games are great fun for infants and early-years children.

The split screen simultaneous multiplayer makes it great for young siblings to play along side each other.

Add in the characters all being voice by children and you have a real winner.

Add a second player to assist with the hard sections and you have the perfect recipe.

As they hone their racing skills they are also challenged to a variety of minigames and search the world for collectables and power ups.

The best games for primary school, junior and young children aged from 7 to 11 years old.

These games provide experiences that connect with a basic joy of discovery and play.

Although still simplistic they engage with a wide range of basic principles.

Similar to the Lego games and adding in co-operative play to the original, its interesting that this works as well on PS3 Move, Wii, 360 or WiiU.

More than novel controls, or beautifully drawn story scenes, its the ability to choose to befriend or fight enemies that makes this particularly interesting for families to play.

The gameplay itself is like a more action focused Lego game, and again, ideally suited for pre-teens.
