Warner Bros. has announced Sesame Street: Ready, Set, Grover!, an action-filled console and handheld video game for preschoolers that promotes the development of healthy habits for life. Based on the world-famous Sesame Street, the award-winning children's television series, the learning game will be available for Wii and Nintendo DS in summer 2011.

"Sesame Street: Ready, Set, Grover! uses gameplay to demonstrate how living a healthy lifestyle can be fun for young kids," said Samantha Ryan, Senior Vice President, Production and Development, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. "We worked closely with Sesame Workshop, the organization behind Sesame Street, to show simple, age-appropriate ways for kids to grow up healthy, strong and happy."

"Building lifelong healthy habits starts in early childhood. Sesame Street: Ready, Set, Grover! gets kids up and moving though stretching, jumping and dancing, models good hygiene practices and highlights the benefits of healthy food choices through fun and active game play," said Rosemarie Truglio, Ph.D., Vice President, Education and Research, Sesame Workshop.

In the game, Grover sets out to create a series of challenges designed to help his Sesame Street friends get up and go! Through the course of the game, Elmo and Abby jump over obstacles, row a boat, and play "Grover Says," all while learning important life lessons on healthy habits to grow with. Through their adventures, the game promotes physical activity, good nutrition, personal hygiene, and even the importance of rest and relaxation.
