Teens:
7. Guitar Hero Live and Rock Band 4
Updated versions of these two favorite console games can be a great way to goof around with teens. Music lovers will enjoy new features that make gameplay more realistic and interactive. These games aren’t easy, so younger kids might get frustrated. (Amazon, $70)
8. MESH Tags
Teens can program these mini-devices with an iPad to make it light up, shake, make noise and more. Creative kids will enjoy experimenting with creating remote controls, staging pranks and bringing inanimate objects to life. (Amazon, $200 for starter pack)
9. Gemio Friendship Bracelets
These colorful bracelets can be customized and coded to light up or sparkle when friends are nearby. They might even trigger an interest in coding. The downside: They’re not as much fun if your kid is the only one with a bracelet. Not yet available in stores, but you can sign up to be notified when they come on the market. (GoGemio, launching soon)
