I'm not sure this is the best game for a 7 year old... Some of the puzzles can be rather abstract and require you to read somewhat cryptic clues.

@hoodtrix: there's Mario Kart DS if she likes MKWii, and then there's all kinds of cute non-games she as a non-gaming second-grader might like -- Nintendogs, the entire Imagine series... and if you want to try to get her into some cute actual games, there's Kirby Superstar Ultra, The Legendary Starfy, Super Princess Peach, and other milder games available for her to try. If you'd like to try and get her into older platformers, too, the DS phat and lite are both equipped with the GBA slot, so that you can find the Super Mario Advance series for her to play as well. She may like those. :3

as for IMing, you may be thinking of PictoChat. PictoChat is only able to connect to other DS systems within its range (about 65 feet, according to Nintendo), and to be completely honest, it's the most useless part of the system. However, if she's wanting to play with her friends, she may get some fun out of it. Even if she can't read or write well yet, pictochat allows you to draw and doodle pictures and send those as 'messages' to the chat room at large (or, if she prefers, there's an on-screen keyboard that will allow her to hunt-and-peck for letters to type in with her stylus and make messages that way).

All of this.

This is a signature. You got a problem with that?

If you're looking to avoid large quantities of text and long-winded plot development then I'd avoid Starfy.

Go with Kirby or Super Princess Peach instead. Super Princess Peach is great fun.

Final Fantasy. That's for 7 year olds right?
But in all seriousness I would recommend Sonic Rush or New Super Mario Brothers. Both very simple platformers with next to no reading. Or if you want to kick-start the gaming bug Tetris DS. No game is more accessible or more fun than Tetris.

I'm not as think as you technologically impaired I am.

Facepalm
You can't be serious...

If she likes Diego, there is a game that my little bro had once called Diego's Dinosaur Adventure (Or somethin' like that) it was pretty good for him because Diego actually talks to the player instead of them having to read text. If you can come across a copy of Super Princess Peach, I hear that's a pretty good game for younger girls.
New Super Mario Bros. or Kirby would be good too. And like theblackdragon said, if she likes Mario Kart Wii, she would probably like Mario Kart DS, it's actually alot easier than MK Wii.

I'm pretty sure that you have to be able to read pretty well to be able to Pokemon Platinum, or ANY Pokemon game for that matter.

Girls LOVE simulation games like Harvest Moon and Animal Crossing. Rune Factory is another one. I know because I have a little sister and cousin who like these games.
