Development of multiplayer interactive games for inducing children's exercise and its evaluation

Abstract

After-school care programs have a function for providing a safety children’s playground. On the other hand, most of the time in children’s activity occupy the time for watching a television and reading a book due to a staff shortage. Hence, we developed some multiplayer interactive games to induce children’s exercises in their plays. This paper reports the details of our developed games and some results of our experiments in two children’s houses belonging to the elementary schools in Kumamoto.
