A total noob question:
I have two toddlers, and with stay at home, I was thinking of buying a gaming console which has a facility to play on tv (without remote) with your hands/body for some workout , like we can play tenis or dance game (not sure what is it called, I guess it was kinet for xbox). But, I also don't want to spend a ton of money, any recommendations, please. Thanks!

I second this - my nephews are too young to maneuver game controllers so we just put on karaoke or dance videos for them during family get togethers

It’s not 2006 anymore bruh, but I’d get a Nintendo Switch. It has some good motion control games but needs controllers... which may be too big for your children’s hands. For less, look for a second hand launch edition Xbox One that comes with a Kinect.

We have a switch at home too, and my older kids are into it (7 & 10), but the younger ones really only play tablet games.

Second just putting on music and having a dance party

Games like just dance are pretty fun. Toddler age is probably a little too young. I’d say 4+ you can really get them to follow along.

Xbox One used to have Kinect, but it’s a dead accessory these days and doesn’t come with the new consoles

Yea I’m one if the suckers that forked out the $499 for the Xbox one when it launched. I naively though I would have time to play video games with 2 kids 😅.

I will say “Just dance” was a big hit with the kids when we used to have NYE parties.
