Need some game recomendations

I just got a great deal on a Wii (w/ 4 wii-motes, 2 nunchuks, play and charge kit, wii sports, wii play, Link's Cross bow training w/ the shell, Mario Galaxy and Twilight princess for $200). My wife OK'd the purchase because she wanted to have something for the kids to burn off some energy when they can't go outside. I am looking for some recommendations of games that a 5 (soon to be 6) year old and 2 (soon to be 3) year old could play without too much help from me. I am thinking I will get Sports Resort, but I can't think of anything else that would fit the bill. Any suggestions would be great.

My nephew is 6 and loves Mario Kart, New Super Mario Bros. and playing drums on Lego Rock Band. I doubt your 2-year-old will be playing anything.

I will try to get Mario Kart. We were thinking our 2 year old might do OK w/ wii sports boxing as she has short arms. I should try drumming w/ my 360 rock band for the older one. Thanks for the suggestion.

That's an amazing deal. You didn't pick that up on Craig's List in Alabama by chance, did you? I missed out on a similar deal w/ Galaxy and Twilight Princess last week!

My daughter, 5, really enjoys Go, Diego Go. She also loves the sword fighting in Wii Sports Resort.

I will definatly check out Boom Blox (it is on my list of games for me as well, so bonus). I just wish the original would get cheaper. Its a freaking 2 year old EA game for crying out loud.
