My nine-year old daughter received the Planet Earth: The Interactive DVD game for Christmas. It's a lot like the Scene It DVD games, but it's based on the highly acclaimed Planet Earth BBC documentary series narrated by David Attenborough.
Our whole family really loves this game! It’s simple and fun, and the questions are informative and interesting. It’s not really competitive; you get a few puzzle pieces for each correct answer, and then put the puzzle together as a group. The last person to place a puzzle piece is the winner, so it's kind of random and not really based on who had the most correct answers. The puzzle is, appropriately, a picture of the earth. The footage is from the documentary series, and is absolutely spectacular.
If you haven't seen the documentaries, I highly recommend them as well. There are 5 DVDs, each with three 45 minute "episodes" on them, based on a specific theme (like caves, polar regions, etc). You can buy them as a complete set or individual discs, and they’re quite affordable.
