Creating a leaderboard challenge is a sure fire way to get the kids motivated, as a little competition is all it takes to get them more active. I did this with my family and it's amazing how keen the kids were to beat us adults by doing the most steps.
To create a leaderboard challenge you need a compatible fitness tracker.
