What are some good games and apps for the Leapster Explorer GS?

[mama2cntrykids]

I got a killer deal on one for my dd6. The problem? Now that I'm looking at games and apps, I'm not finding stuff that appeals to me. I mean, the Disney stuff is so-so, but it seems like that's the majority of what is available.

 

Does your child have games/apps for it that they really enjoy? She's 6.5 years old, btw.

 

Thanks!

Curious to hear what people say. I will admit I've played a few games, you know, just to check them out before I give the leapsters to the boys. ;) I enjoyed Jewel Train, Wheel Works, and Globe: Earth Adventures. From the app center, I plan to buy my DS6 either Splurgle or Solar Taxi because they utilize the motion play new to GS. And just because my guys love Scooby Doo, I think I'll buy the Scooby Spelling Game. I've read lots of good reviews of Pet Pals 2.

ETA: I also think I'll probably get the Magic School Bus games at some point since we love Magic School Bus.

By the way, amazon has some pretty great prices on a number of games and accessories right now. For example, the Magic School Bus Oceans game is $11.24. And the rechargeable battery pack is $12.99.

Ooooh...thanks for the heads up! I will probably get the rechargeable battery pack. Batteries are SPENDY!

Yep. That's what I did. Battery packs for each boy, and one car adapter. I was telling DH we'd need more rechargeable batteries, but these will be easier.
