Exergames on interactive floors are appropriate to promote exercise and socialization in ludic environments. However, they lack of mechanisms to help children of early age to develop age-appropriate motor skills. In this paper, we present the design and development of an exergame to promote the collaborative exercising in young children (4-6 years old) using interactive floors. Also we take advantage of the socialization aspects catalyzed by interactive floors to promote collaboration among potential users. We close discussing design considerations, we argue an interactive floor exergame should incorporate to appropriately promote exercise and collaboration in young children.
