Consolarium

New title at the Consolarium: Boogie

Derek RobertsonSeptember 27th, 2007

At the Consolarium we have just bought a copy of Boogie for the Nintendo Wii. We’re really interested in exploring this game due to the active engagement that is required form the player. Similar to Singstar and even some dance mat applications this game looks as though it will be great fun to play but it looks as though there are possibilities of retrofitiing this across a range of educational contexts.

Have a quick look:

If you are interested in finding out more about this or feel that this game could make a positive impact on learning in your setting then please let us know.

    I really feel we need to have a chance to use this.
    I can see it fitting in with the school using the Wii at the moment – all they have is Wii sports. Can I be sexist and say that appeals more to the boys, but I can see this appealing to boys, girls and of course staff.
    What is the rating on this – you know like guitar hero that is 12+?

    Looks really good!

    The active element especially – a good way for those who are not that fond of PE to be active for a bit…

    Active – at wet intervals? For those who struggle to cope with the playground – can still be active without getting into bother?

    I like the look of this – I’ve seen it in the shops but not got a copy yet. How many players can play at a time? OB

    We are using this next term – as part of our dance (PE and Creative Arts) program, as well as getting ready for our end of year social :)
    Watch out “Nutbush” and “Macarena” we will make up our own dance :lol:
