Back in February, Nex announced that it was teaming up with Sesame Workshop to launch video games with kids’ fave Sesame Street characters. Now, kids can finally try them out!
Elmo Says is the first game in the collaboration. The game tests kids’ executive functioning skills as they listen to, focus on, and follow Elmo’s directions. Elmo & Abby’s Magical Letter Hunt will be available next month and takes kids on a flying adventure using arm flaps to soar through the sky and collect letters.
The Nex Playground console doesn’t come with a controller. Instead, kids control the game using whole-body movements and arm gestures to actively learn using Nex’s motion capture and image processing technology.
The new Sesame Street games will join the Nex Playground Play Pass subscription, which includes more than 20 titles, each of which encourages gross and fine motor skills, cognitive skills, or academic skills.
Playing video games is already a fun activity to keep kids engaged, but getting active with Elmo makes playing video games even better!
NEX PLAYGROUND
Kids use active motions to play video games on this gaming console instead of a controller. It features more than 25 games with different themes, including sports, music, and some of kids’ favorite brands.
