Giveaway: Build-A-Bear Workshop Game for Nintendo Wii

Thank you to all who entered our giveaway! We are happy to announce that commenter #41, r. robinson, was the winner! Congratulations to their family!

“My daughter is a straight A student who greatly desires a Build a Bear. I have been unable to purchase this item for her. This game will be a great treat for her. Her grandparents are planning to buy her a Wii for Christmas and this game would be an awesome gift to find under the Christmas tree.”

Now that I am back from my vacation, I am so excited to start our weekly giveaways back up! Today we will be offering two luck winners a new family game for your Nintendo Wii.

The game is called Build-A-Bear Workshop for the Nintendo Wii, and it is a family-friendly game perfect for young children. The game is for children three and older, and will be released very soon!  It encourages multiple players, making it ideal for a birthday party or family game night. In the game, players create a stuffed friend, and then guide him through a series of fun and challenging games and obstacles. Build-A-Bear Workshop was released on the Nintendo DS in 2007 and received rave reviews, and the Wii version promises to be even better!

To enter, please leave a comment and share your favorite Nintendo Wii game that you play with your family. If you don’t have any games yet, please share why this one would make a good start to your collection. Please leave your comment here by 10/28 at 8PM EST to be included. One entry per person and US residents only. Thanks & good luck!!

  1. So far, all of our Wii games are for our teenagers, so this would be the perfect choice for a first game for our four-year-old twins! They love computer games for their age, so they’d be really excited to get their first Wii game!

  2. Our collection of Wii games is rather small. This would be a great way to build it up. My girls would love to play it I’m sure, and it would give me a few moments on relaxation.

    Thanks for the chance!

  3. Our family’s favorite Nintendo Wii game is Smooth Moves. We laugh hysterically while we are plalying it, and everyone can participate (4, 8, 10y/o plus Mom and Dad!)
    It’s a great family game!

  4. We have Madden 09—husband and son play–we all get a kick out of the fact that mii characters appear as the referee. Some of our miis are rather interesting looking…eyes where mouths should be, dreadlocks, older folks. Also, my son who cannot read yet, names his characters: h4hh4h4hhm or 666kkkk4444. My daughter who is 10 will translate for him—she’ll say “James that is fidddkgib” when he wants one of his characters to play a game.

    We have wii play and wii sports. My son loves the tank game. My daughters love beating their fitness age. My middle daughter likes to unlock new bowling lanes.

    As for me the last time I did my fitness age it was 68…I am not 68. I think I will stick to something more sedate.

  5. Our favorite Wii game right now is bowling because my 2-year-old just CRACKS UP every time we release the ball backwards and “scare” the spectators. It will be awesome to have a family game!

    Posted by Shabnam | October 20, 2008, 5:55 pm
  6. We also have a small collection of Wii games, but our favorite is Big Brain Academy. But that is too old a game for my 3-year-old so he would love this one!

    Posted by Emily H. | October 20, 2008, 7:12 pm
  7. This sounds great! We LOVE Mario Cart. My girls, five and seven, think they are ready to get behind the wheel of a real car from playing so much! lol

    Posted by ColleenM | October 20, 2008, 8:08 pm
  8. We don’t have many games yet, but we like to do the ski jumping and slalom together. They are both ones that our four-year-old can easily do (and beat us at!).

    Build-a-Bear would be right up our alley since I find it difficult to find appropriate games for her or that aren’t too difficult to do. There aren’t too many rated “E” games out there.

    Posted by Leeanthro | October 20, 2008, 8:21 pm
  9. Ours by far is the bowling. It’s the best ice breaker when having company over and friends in town. This game would be great as I have a niece and nephew under three.

    Posted by Colleen | October 21, 2008, 4:39 am
  10. We love our Wii! Our five year old loves to box on Wii Sport – he is a crazy maniac! This game would be awesome because it obviously has safe content and with our two year old coming along, it would be lovely to have a safe game for him.

    Posted by Michelle | October 21, 2008, 5:03 am
  11. Our favorite game is the basic tennis since our 3 year old can swing the “racquet”. Build a Bear would be a great addition for all the kids in our family 8 years old down to the 2 year old!

    Posted by Kim | October 21, 2008, 5:21 am
  12. My son and I like to play WiiFit together – especially the hula-hooping! Thanks for the contest.

    Posted by PisecoMom | October 21, 2008, 5:32 am
  13. I don’t play the Wii, but the rest of the family seems to like Mario Cart. The grandkids love “driving”. They are three and 18 months. I love watching and cheering everybody on. My granddaughter would love the Build-A-Bear Workshop. She received on kids game for her birthday and I would love to have one at my house for her to play.

  14. Your product review how to article was very nice. I’m so glad you took the time to write it because I was wondering how people get the products so thank you for that. I do wish you could make your text larger on your site as it is very hard for me to read it.

    Posted by barb | October 21, 2008, 6:02 am
  15. We have all of our games through Gamefly and have held on to Big Brain Academy for forever. My 4 year old can do a pretty good job and that but it would be awesome to have a game both Baylee & Tai could play. Pick me! Pick me!

    Posted by Renee | October 21, 2008, 6:23 am
  16. We only have the Wii sports right now but often have younger kids over to our house so this would be a perfect addition to our slowly growing collection!

    Posted by QuietMom | October 21, 2008, 6:30 am
  17. I have a 4 year old and her favorite game to play with mommy and daddy is either Raving Rabid Rabbits or Wii Sports bowling. I think she would probably really enjoy this build a bear game, ive never heard of it until today.

    Posted by Ashley Isra | October 21, 2008, 6:32 am
  18. I enjoy playing Wii Sports with my daughter, she likes to play the Rapala fishing game with her brother. She has the BBW for DS and it’s one if her favorites.

    Posted by Shelli | October 21, 2008, 6:37 am
  19. Wii like ping pong it’s challenging!

    Posted by Denise | October 21, 2008, 6:46 am
  20. We only have “sports” games for the wii, so my daughter doesn’t really play. It was supposed to be for both kids, but my son kind of hogs it. This would be a game just for her and boy would she love it! She loves Build a Bear.

    Posted by Dawn | October 21, 2008, 6:54 am
  21. Our favorite Wii game is Mario Kart. It is sooo fun and I enjoy racing my family online. They are in TX and we’re in NC. My 6 year old has become a master racer!

    The Build a Bear game would be an awesome addition to our tiny collection because my 5 year old daughter doesn’t have much Wii time since she feels a lot of the games are too difficult. She has the Build a Bear DS game and LOVES it! :)

    Great giveaway!! Thanks for the chance!

  22. I don’t have any Wii games or a Wii but this game looks like fun and maybe someone will feel generous this holiday season and gift us a wii ;-)

    Posted by Mercedes | October 21, 2008, 7:29 am
  23. My 4 year old son is a Wii wiz kid he started playing when he was three and he beats me daily on just about any game. His favorite is “Smooth Moves” it is a great game filled with tons of mini games. I have never seen the “Build a bear” game but I know he would love it and so will his little sister who is following in his gameing footsteps!!!

    Posted by Kelly | October 21, 2008, 7:37 am
  24. Very fun!

    Posted by Alicia @ Experiencing Each Moment | October 21, 2008, 7:41 am
  25. We love Happy Feet. The music, especially “Shake Your Booty” really get us dancing.

    Posted by Jen | October 21, 2008, 7:50 am
  26. We just got WiiFit and it is awesome! We got it about 4 weeks after I had our baby boy and it got this new mommy doing the hula, balance boards and even yoga! My husband thinks it is funny that I’ve got more time logged than him since I’m not a gamer at all and he is the one who has had video games since he was a little boy. I’m so glad Wii has changed how kids do video games, at least it offers a chance to work up a sweat at the same time!

    Posted by Heather | October 21, 2008, 8:57 am
  27. Awesome! We like Mario Kart around here. I think my daughter would really like this Build a Bear game though. Thanks for letting me play along.

    Posted by Kristen | October 21, 2008, 9:20 am
  28. Our favorite wii game is MarioKart. We each have our own wheel – Dad, Mom, DD (4y), and even DS (1.5y). We have a blast. Often when the kids go to bed, Mom & Dad play online vs. our friends (i.e. our next door Mom & Dad) after they get their kids to bed too. Really cool when we get linked to 3-4 other friends online and have a MarioKart Party & Conference call. =) But with the holiday fast approaching, I am sure my 4yo would LOVE this build-a-bear game. Thanks!

  29. We really liked the bowling, I have young kids so this would be great!

  30. We like wii fit. Even my 5 year old daughter likes to do the exercises and she loves to imitate the command voice!

    My sons bday party is at build a bear next week!

    Posted by Julie | October 21, 2008, 11:24 am
  33. Wii fit. Love the hula hoop…by far the funnies to watch others do (and gives your abs a belly laugh workout) and quite a hip swinging workout if you really get into it.

    Posted by Heather Maxfield | October 21, 2008, 12:30 pm
  34. We love guitar hero!

  35. We don’t yet have a Wii but I am planning on purchasing one for my 2 daughters who are 2 1/2 and 4 1/2. This would make a perfect first game.

    Posted by Katie | October 21, 2008, 7:05 pm
  36. We love Wii Sports, mainly boxing and bowling, but it would be nice to have a game that the kids could play without having to wonder if it’s age appropriate! They love Build-A-Bear!

    Posted by Beth A. | October 21, 2008, 7:51 pm
  37. This would be a great game for my niece to play when I watch her. Oh and I spent the night outside Circuit City to get a Wii last Christmas…and got egged!

    Posted by Barbara | October 21, 2008, 8:04 pm
  38. Our favorite game is Mario Kart. Everybody loves it from our 4 year old to Daddy. This game has given us many funny family memories. I watch my girls race and wonder why they turn the wheel so much. Do I drive like that?
    Thank you for offering this giveaway. I would put it away for Christmas for our girls.

    Posted by Karen | October 24, 2008, 7:27 am
  50. My 7 year old loves to play Wii when his little sisters go to bed. That is time for he and his dad to ‘bond’ and punch each other playing Wii Sports boxing! They love that game! His second favorite game would definitley be Spongebob Squarepants.

  60. My grandsons really love to play fishing and tanks on wii. They are 3 and 2. Bowling is hard for them, they can’t quite grasp the b button and letting go. But their favorite is jumping cows. They have named the cows, Otis and Clyde. There is lots of laughter and screams of Go Otis Go. I am sure they would love Build a Bear. They each have been to the store a picked one

  61. We don’t have a lot of Wii games, but I have to say that of all the games we have I like the Mario Kart racing game. I am rather good at it and my husband gets a little irritated with me about it!! But I think this Build a Bear Workshop game would be a great way to include my kids. I can’t wait to see what it is like!!!!!!!!

    Posted by Amanda Spencer | October 24, 2008, 8:39 am
  62. My family loves the wii fit. I started it about 2 weeks ago and just this week my family joined with me. We like to try to beat each others scores. It is especially great for my son who has CP. He likes to do the games and was thrilled when he beat Mom’s score on the tightrope. It’s great to get us more aware of how we use our body. I love the wii because it encourages us to get up and move. My youngest kids don’t even know they are getting a workout.

    Posted by Rebecca | October 24, 2008, 8:40 am
  63. We enjoy playing the bowling game and my three year old tries to play with us and gets frustrated because she cannot “throw the ball” she loves doing what her big brother does so if she were able to play her own Wii game she would be thrilled,as an added bonus ,she loves teddy bears.

  79. We have Wii family bowling nights with my four year old all the time. (It is a lot cheaper than the bowling alley…since our Wii was a gift!) She LOVES to bowl and sometimes beats us at the Red Pin Game! You have no idea how much she would love the Build-A-Bear game. It would be her new favorite thing to do!

    Posted by Kristi Henson | October 24, 2008, 10:37 am
  80. We actually just bought the Wii as a Christmas gift for our 4 sons. They are 10,10,5, and 4…so this would be a great gift for the younger 2…maybe even the older 2 ;)
    Thank you for the opportunity!!

    Posted by Shannon Rhoades | October 24, 2008, 10:43 am
  81. We have wii fit, and have family time cheering each other on with the various challenges. One of my sons is obsessed with animals, especially bears. He has autism. He loves the Build a Bear stores! They can be very expensive. This would be a great game to use to have him interact with us, because it captures his motivation – bears!

    Posted by Frances | October 24, 2008, 10:47 am
  82. Our Family does not have a Wii System yet but we are planning to put one on layaway for Christmas for my 8 year old Daughter Kursten.She loves those build the bears.Last year we went to Adventureland in Iowa and they had a shop there that she enjoyed as much as the park!I know this would make Kursten very happy.Thank You,Kurt

  86. Me and my family have really enjoyed the wii blance board and the game that came with it.
    It has a lot of games that work on balance, strenght training, and core exercises. Lots of fun with exercise built in .

    Posted by jennifer | October 24, 2008, 11:21 am
  87. My youngest daughter, who is 7, has a neurologic condition that makes fine motor movements quite challenging for her. Video games are usually out of the question for her. And, the family board games we play are either too easy (which translates into boring) for the 11 and 14 year olds or are too hard for the 7 year old. We finally saved up enough money and purchased a Wii that we will be giving to the kids for Christmas with the hope that family nights will become fun for every one again. Most of the games I have researched seem to be aimed at older children and may still pose some difficulty for my youngest, but I think this game would be a wonderful game geared more to her abilities. It would be a great starting point for her and she loves Build a Bear. I am so excited about this giveaway! Thank you so much for the opportunity!

    Posted by Jennifer Ferris | October 24, 2008, 11:22 am
  88. This will make a great Christmas gift for my adorable cousin! She’s so good with the wii system and so imaginative when playing with stuff animals.

  89. My husband and I have five children together, we all love to play Mario Cart especially my eldest son JonJon, he has Ceribral Palsey so we bought him the Wii and so far it has helped him with his motor skills. Plus when the weather isn’t all the great, we all play together.

  90. My husband and I have enjoyed watching our nieces and nephews play the Wii – I guess my favorite would be Bowling. Its amazing how quickly they pick up on how to work these electronic gadgets at a young age.

    The build a bear game would be a great addition because with the four of them (1; 3; 5; and 6) there is not much to choose from.

    Thanks for the chance to win!

  91. We just got a wii for our big Christmas present. This would be a great start to our games. We have 3 boys ages 3 and under. Our 3 year old is just now getting the idea of video games.

  92. Happy Feet is our current favorite. The music is fun!

  93. We don’t have a wii yet, but are going to get one for our 2 daughters for Christmas. They love their build-a-bears so I know they would have an awesome time with this game!

  94. If we had to pick just one game, it would be bowling followed closely by Wii Fit balancing games. What a way to bring all ages together and share a good time. Get motivated….Have Fun!

  95. I bought Wii for the sole purpose of playing “Cooking Mama”. It is fun! We also like WiiFit and MarioKart Wii ?

  96. What a sweet giveaway! I hadn’t even heard of that game before. My little ones would love it. Some games just seem so hard for younger kids. It’d be nice to have more games that the whole family could play together.

    My personal favorite wii game is Dance Dance Revolution Hottest Party.

  97. I dont have a wii system yet. I hope to get one for my grandchildren. The build-a-bear game would be a great first game.

  98. We absolutely love our Nintendo Wii especially in the winter months. Our family loves to play the bowling game that came with the Wii sports pack but my three year old son sometimes gets discouraged as he doesn’t understand the concept of the game. The Build-A-Bear game for Wii would be a perfect game for his age to enjoy!

  99. My son loves playing the sports everyone in the family does but our daughter is only 3 and I believe this would be great for her.

  100. My favorite game so far is Wii sports, but I would love to have Mario Party–that is such an awesome family game. The Build a Bear game sounds great, too!

    Posted by renee | October 24, 2008, 12:50 pm
  101. Our collection isn’t very big yet either, but I would say we have 3 favorites Mario Cart, on Wii Sports-Baseball and Wii Play-the Cow racing only b/c it cracks our 1 year old up to the point we are all laugh on the floor! But we have young children and I think with game would be a great addition.

  102. We would love a game for our new Wii that we are getting for Christmas this year! Our kids are little so it would be perfect for us. Thanks.

  113. My husband received the Sports Wii for Father’s Day. It has been fun for the whole family. It’s fun to see what activities women do better in that men and vis versa. Love the bowling!

  114. I have a 6yo daughter and she has got my husband and I hooked on Wii. Our favorite game right now is Wii Sport Bowling. Everyone in our cul-de-sac now owns a Wii and we all get together as often as possible to play against each other. The Build-A-Bear game would be a perfect game for my 6yo, she just recently got her first actual Build-A-Bear. Thank you for this chance to win!

    Posted by Katie Rubin | October 24, 2008, 8:24 pm
  115. My parents have a few games that the adults play every Sunday. I have a 7 year old niece that gets left out a lot. There are 3 boys under the age of 2 that everyone seems to pay attention to more. So if I got this game it would be something I would play with my niece every Sunday. She recently went with my parents to a Build-A-Bear workshop and loved it. I think she would love this game!

    Posted by Melissa | October 25, 2008, 4:47 am
  119. We are getting a Wii soon, but have played it at others, our favorite is Wii fit Hula Hoop game! This would be a great game to have since we have a 4 year old, 2 year old, and 10 month old!

    Posted by Shannon P | October 25, 2008, 6:11 am
  120. Well i do not have a wii system yet! But my son could really use this for moving around, he really needs to have games that are for moving your body rather than sitting and playing playstation2 for hours to get fit! Thank you!

    Posted by Lisa | October 25, 2008, 8:23 am
  121. We’re getting a Wii for Christmas, so this game sounds like a wonderful 1st addition to our collection! What a fun, creative idea! I hope I win!

    Posted by Nikki | October 25, 2008, 9:54 am
  122. My kids love to play the soccer game on Wii Fit – they think it’s hilarious to see their mom & dad get hit in the head with a bank or a shoe when we miss!!

    Posted by Michelle | October 25, 2008, 2:28 pm
  123. Oh, this game would be solely for my daughter! She is skilled in using the Wii, but my husband dominates it! This would give my 6 year old an interest in using technology, teaching her eye-hand coordination and organization on that game! Besides all of the learning experiences, she would certainly have a lot of fun!!!

  124. We are getting a WII for Christmas! What a wonderful way to start out our collection. I am going to keep my fingers crossed!!

  125. We can’t afford anything like this but I have heard great things about it. My son loves video games so I’m sure he would also love it. Thanks for giving hope during this hard time of economics. I love homeschooling. I encourage all who are doing this journey. May God bless you all!.

  126. We have 5 1/2 year old and 3 1/2 year old boys. And also a 1 1/2 year old daughter. Our older son loves to play Wii Play with us. He always kicks my tail in fishing and target practice. He’s also an expert bowler on Wii Sports! Our younger son doesn’t quite get how to work the controller, but still likes to pretend. It really is great to be able to play this together as a family. Way more fun that playing Chutes and Ladders or Candyland! We’d love to try out the Build-A-Bear game! All 3 of our kids have a Build-A-Bear animal that my husband and I made for each of them while they were in my tummy. In each one, we put a recording of their own heartbeat.

    Posted by Amy | October 25, 2008, 9:29 pm
  127. My kids love to play the Lego games for Wii. Like Lego Star Wars and Indiana Jones etc. I love them because if you “kill” someone, they just break into a bunch of legos. Same things happen if you “run out of lives”. My daughter also likes My Sims ( the kid version) and loves to bowl and play tennis. We love our Wii!

    Posted by Marie | October 26, 2008, 6:52 pm
  128. We love to bowl as a family. Even my 3 year old, 28lb daughter is a bowling whiz!! She loves to bowl. Hubby is a guitar hero freak and we all have to be his groupies! My 7 yr old love all the LEGO StarWars games and also enjoys just creating or changing his Mii!!
    We totally are into BuildaBear…even the 7 yr old boy, although he would not admit it so we would Loooooooooove to win!!

    Posted by jayne | October 26, 2008, 7:32 pm
  129. We just bought a WII so we only have a few games, but our favorite is definetly Mario Kart! My 1 1/2 year old loves to hold the wheel and pretend he is playing.

  130. We are planning to purchase a Wii for Christmas this year. We visited a friends house and ended up playing the wii fit and some sort of sports game with them and the whole family loved it. I am normally so against video games, but I think this would be great for family time. We have a a 4 year old that would love the teddy game. thank you for the consideration!

    Posted by Veronica Karbosky | October 26, 2008, 11:35 pm
  131. We can’t wait to add a game like this to our collection! We just got our Wii….and we’re loving Wii Sports. Our 4 and 2 year old sons like to bowl…but we don’t have any games specifically for their age group. This Buil-A-Bear game would be perfectt! *fingers crossed!*

    Posted by Kirsten | October 27, 2008, 6:41 am
  132. We just got the Wii as a gift and we really like the bowling game. I think it came with the system, but it’s a blast for my kids and Mom and Dad like it too. We’re looking forward to trying other games soon… maybe the build-a-bear game, which my daughter would absolutely LOVE!!

    Posted by Laura | October 27, 2008, 6:50 am
  133. We just bought one used off of ebay for the kids this Christmas. I think this game would be a nice addition to the used ones we bought with the Wii since we have 4 children. Ages 17 years all the way down to 4 years old. That way our youngest can get in on the action too.

    Posted by Heather | October 27, 2008, 8:40 am
  134. Would love to add this one to our small collection. We spend a lot of time huddled around the Wii playing Mario Kart.

  137. For everyone, our kids dig on Wii Fit — nothing like a game where we can get the whole body involved for some instant feedback. For the older kids and me, it’s probably Super Mario Galaxy — all of us love the visuals, and the gameplay is easy to pick up on while concealing a lot of depth.

    Posted by Kit | October 27, 2008, 10:30 am
  138. I love Wii Sports, I used the bowling game to help move my labor along with our newest baby (and I have funny pictures to prove it!) :) I think our five year old daughter would LOVE this bear game. Thanks!

  146. We are purchasing a Wii for Christmas and nothing else except stocking stuffers due to the lack of extra funds these days. We would LOVE to have an age appropriate game for our smaller children. I worry about the anticipation of the gift only to discover how frustrated they will become trying to play the other games included.

  149. I have no wii but my Sister’s children do…there are 4 children and they range in age from 15-7 years old. I think this game would be an awesome way for them to play together and maybe even include mom, dad, and “Aunt Shell”. (that’s me!)

    Posted by Michelle | October 27, 2008, 12:53 pm
  150. I’m so excited. There aren’t that many games that my 5 year old can work really well on the wii. I was hoping they’d start to make some younger ones. My favorite is the Wii Fit, but my daughter’s fave is a horribly boring game called PuppyLuv.

    PS – I have a big family: 8 brothers and 1 sister so you can bet it will get a lot of use!

  163. Our children have been wanting for a Wii for a very long time. We told them they could get one once we find a house. We moved a year ago in June and we still have not found a house in our new location. By winning this game, it would encourage us to get the Wii even though we have not found a house. Our children have been very patient in this long wait.

  167. Our favoite game is Sims for the Wii. Our kids love to compete to see who can build thier village the quickest! So far my daughter is 1st and my husband second. That doesn’t make my son very happy that his dad is beating him! LOL So we would love to add the Build-A-Bear game to our collection; maybe it would help them to quit asking me to take them there! They have a whole collection, which represents each one of our family members! Go figure! Thanks!

  168. We love to play the Olympics game that we have. It is very challenging and we are a fairly competitive family. Our 9 year old often beats the grown ups. The Build-A-Bear game would be a GREAT addition to our collection because our 9 year old LOVES to go to Build A Bear and with the game, she could bring Build A Bear home. This would also be a game that my 3 year old could play with her sister.

    Posted by Alicia | October 28, 2008, 7:17 am
  169. Our favorite game is the lego star wars. My 4 year old loves it. It is great for little kids because they never die and they are just smashing legos. He also loves the fishing, and cow race on wii sports. My husbands favorite game is the new star wars one, this the fist game that he hasn’t won in the first day. He even still plays it because it has several differant ends and achivements to get

  173. We have a lot of games geared for our teens and, even though they are ’safe’ for our 9 year old sometimes they are alittle too hard for her. This would be something that she could play with and it would be something geared for her age.

  174. As a grandma, my grandbabies would love to have one of these, but being low income I am not able to afford it, I have heard abnout the WII and wish I could purchase for the wholw family to enjoy.

The funny thing is, we all have at least one Build-A-Bear either made for us or by us. I think that we would enjoy this game and the time together we spend playing it (as we have 8 wii motes).

  180. We have a Wii with only the game that has the multiple sports games on it…and my DH is in tech school for the air force, and has it with him, so I’ve not even played it yet. But this game would be great for us, because we have twins, and it won’t be too long at all before they are able to play it! It’d be perfect for them.

  188. Of all things, we have enjoyed the bowling game on the wii. My daughter has had a bowling birthday party for the past two years (she is turning 7 soon) and I think this year she will bowl without the bumpers! Even grandpa gets into the game…which just tickles me.
