Title: Wii for Seniors
Post by: P.C. on Sep 17 07 06:55
LOL !!!  I just watched this clip on the news, where they are bringing in the wii sports games to some seniors homes.  They were SO into it.....and they all agreed that it was a fun way to 'get moving'.

  What a great idea.

They were really getting into it.  The looks on their faces was great.  Boxing, baseball, bowling.....they all got them moving.  Kudos to whoever came up with that idea.

I have never met anyone who has disliked playing the Wii. It is too fun when you're with a group of people.
