Can anyone recommend a good Wii game for a five year old?

My son LOVES playing on the Wii, and currently loves playing Supermario. Before that he was really into the wii sports and the games on wii fit. I would like to get him something that gets him moving around and makes him think a bit more than the mario game, but that is also fun to play with the colourful appeal of the mario game...

Any recommendations???!!

my 5y old loves:

Lego Star Wars
Lego Batman
Super Mario Galaxy

NOt sure any of them get them moving more than the wii sports and wii fit though - have you got wii Sports Resort? That is the most physical activity I get these days and some of the games are really active - fencing etc - different games from Wii Sports as well as the old favourites like Bowling etc.

Thanks Preghead! Lego starwars and batman would be a winner i think, hes desperate for super mario galaxy but will be getting it for xmas....
Oh, I meant more active than supermario, not the wii sports lol. I like the games that get him moving like wii sports as when hes playing the Mario game he really zones out, where as the sporty ones seems to keep him more in the room!

wii sports resort is the way to go then I reckon - if you havent already got that one. It comes with the extra motion sensor for the remote - the runnig and cycling are knackering!

I'd vote for the Lego games they are consistently good or Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 or maybe even Drawn to Life, look it up and think about it that one enables the ability to draw your main character and things so it depends on if he is interested in being creative.
