Nintendo Wii

The Nintendo Wii has continued to be a big hit at the Senior Center. Everyone loves bowling, but a few adventurous people have tried golf and tennis. We also have a variety of carnival games like darts and shuffleboard. For those unfamiliar with the Wii, If you haven’t tried playing the Wii yet, stop in and we will set it up for you. It is available everyday of the week, but we will have an organized Wii game day for every Tuesday at 10 am.

The Senior Center was awarded a grant through the West Virginia on the Move (WVOM) program. One of the objectives of WVOM is to promote physical activity in the State of WV. With this grant, we have purchased a Nintendo Wii Sports System to enhance physical activity opportunities for our Senior Citizens. A Wii game system is played on the television. It has a motion-sensitive controller about the size of a television remote control. This controller can be swung like a tennis racket, a baseball bat, etc. You use your arm motion to control the action in the game. We will have bowling, baseball, tennis, and a variety of other games for you to play. Wii will be available for play any day of the week, and we will be scheduling regular activities also.
