But, I'd also like to find a video game that she could enjoy (in moderation, of course). Her eye doctor even recommended it. :P I bought her a Spongebob XBox game for Christmas, but she won't play it. Luckily Mr. Gris likes it. She won't touch Tetris or Nitro Kart. She has a friend who enjoys Diablo (the original), but she won't even give it a try. She enjoys her "I Spy" game, but really never asks to play it. I wonder if there are games that aren't designed to be just educational but are still playable by fairly young children (someone who can read but isn't going to be able to catch huge amounts of text flying past quickly, and who isn't going to be performing any huge feats of manual dexterity any time soon).

What about some of the older sim games, if they work on the computer? Third and fourth grade thats what me and other people in my classes were doing, games like simtower or simearth. They go slow but still need some thinking to do well.
