Star Wars Trivia: May the Force Be With You
Disney isn’t just about princesses and mice. Is your kiddo an aspiring Padawan? Try Star Wars Trivia to see how well they know the movies!
Questions are all movie-based, so you don’t have to be a cannon fanatic to play.

Questions are challenging enough for adults to play along and have fun.
If you have a younger kid who is more into the cartoons like Clone Wars then they probably aren’t ready for this game quite yet.

Toy Story Freeze Dance: Groove Along with the Toys
With Toy Story’s universal appeal, this one is a sure hit with kiddos. Woody and friends will call out dance moves like “Do the Dinosaur!” and you can dance along however you please. But watch out, when Sarge yells “Freeze!” you better stop before Andy comes!
This game encourages physical activity and creativity.
Lots of replay value, as moves can be made up differently each time.
Not much of a penalty for not freezing.

The option to hear a story is a nice quiet time activity, requiring less feedback from the listener than the adventures.
Some of the voices for princesses are more accurate than others, but they’re all reasonable enough that your little princess probably won’t protest.
