The intervention will be delivered within participants' homes. Participants will be provided a gaming console and exergames. Participants will be encouraged to meet a goal of 60 minutes/day of MVPA for the duration of the intervention by playing the exergames at least three times per week and engaging in non-screen based physical activity on other days. Participants will receive a booklet that includes a curriculum for playing weekly challenges. Participants will wear a FitBit during their exergaming sessions. Participants and parents meet bi-weekly with a health coach via video-chat using the exergame console. Sessions will identify and encourage specific physical activity, healthy eating, and healthy sleep habits. At the school site, participants will receive additional check-ins, engagement support, and health curricula from classroom teachers during the first 10 weeks of the intervention.
