The nabi Compete is a children's fitness band that keeps kids entertained with video game challenges that also incorporate healthy physical activity.
Fuhu, the company behind the innovative nabi tablet for children, has just released a children's fitness game that combines exercise with fun and learning. The nabi Compete uses a thick, durable wristband connected to a smartphone app to track activity and translate it into progress in the game. With two wristbands, kids can play against each other or engage in collaborative tasks that ask them to work together to complete challenges.
The nabi Compete's games also have a real-life educational aspect. For example, a running game called the Exploration Challenge asks children to choose various landmarks as benchmarks for distance, like the Brooklyn Bridge or the National Mall Loop.
