"In my quest to find Wii games I and others with the full use of only one hand, can play, I'm now trying to get a complete list together. I've been tracking down the information with different sources. Some games, like Rampage, say they require the numchuck but in fact have a Wii remote only mode and are completely playable with one hand. Other games, such as Warioware, say they only use the remote but have segments that use the numchuck and thus require the full use of two hands. Not counting virtual console games, my research has turned up this list:

I. Games that can be completely played with just the Wii remote:
ExciteTruck
Let's Tap (using a box or surface to tap on)
Mario Party 8 (unconfirmed)
Metal Slug Anthology
Monster 4x4: World Circuit with Wheel
Need for Speed: Carbon
Rampage: Total Destruction
Raquet Sports Party
Sonic and the Secret Rings
Super Swing Golf
Tony Hawk Down Hill Jam
Wii Play

II Games that can mostly played with just the wii remote
Super Monkey Ball (a few unlockable minigames that a unlock require the numchuck but aren't required to be played)
Warioware (Several unlockable levels require the numchuck but those sections can be ignored by all players)
Wii Sports (Boxing requires the numchuck)

III Games on Virtual console that are played with just the Wii remore and are playable with one hand.
(this section is in development)

IV Games that Require the Numchuck (or other device) and are impossible to play with one hand
Chicken Little: Ace in Action
Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Rayman Raving Rabbit"

Raquet Sports Party http://bit.ly/cevwYk can be played entirely without the nunchuck and just with the Wiimote or with a Ubisoft camera peripheral (one player only).

"Let's Tap" can be played with the tap of one hand alone.

It's also got a lovely "Visualiser" that is highly accessible to players struggling with the speed of traditional action games.

(some show the wiimote being held with two hands e.g. swordplay and canoeing, however these are playable with just one hand).
