Any ds game recommendations for 5 year old who can't read?

I was after 'lets draw' for my ds as apparently you can listen to the instructions (have ordered from amazon and tescos but both cancelled my order as its out of stock!). Everywhere is sold out and I really want to get ds a game for his new xmas ds that he can play without getting too frustrated at having to ask for help all the time!

Any recommendations anyone? TIA

Mario? My DD has it, she can read, but I've played it quite a bit too Blush and I think if you explain how it works, there is no reading on screen in the actual game.

My 5yo ds still likes "I did it mum" which is aimed at younger children but seems to provide enjoyment (my 8yo dd has a go too).

The diego ones do all the instructions verbally too.

The Dora and Diego ones have spoken instructions.

Yes my DD likes the Diego one as it has spoken instructions and is fairly basic so she can do it all herself

Brilliant, thank you! Off to have a look at amazon....!

Both the Peppa Pig DS games are great for non readers. Got my dd the first one last Christmas (she was just coming up to 5) and she wasn't a reader then and absolutely loved it. Then this year I bought the new one that came out, which was another big hit.

Now that she can read (although not fluently enough to follow written instructions), she still loves both games and enjoys having a go at the letters game where she likes to write simple words. :)

My DD (4) and DS (5) both love the lego games. They have Lego Batman for the ds and they seem to get through it fine. The link up to each others ds and play hide and seek with the characters Grin
