Trying to get my child to go out and run a bit with me, worked ok so far but I know it might get boring at some point.

So I was looking for any kind of children friendly app that either counts distance or steps just for a run, so not at all times, and then gives some kind of reward for that. Like a dog growing up or whatever, something ok for kids. Zombie run comes up often but I don't think my child is into that, bit too scary maybe with the zombie theme.

Other apps I found are counting steps continously, or there are some elaborate minigames connected. I really don't want my little one to spend more time on a screen, so thats not great either. Like Pokemon Go, not into Pokemon yet anyway but its too much aside from the actual running/walking.

Anybody got a good suggestion that goes in that direction?

Yeah if more people could read my post fully before answering... ;)

Zombies may be a bit to scary for my child, is a bit young and I didn't mention that in the main post to be fair.

If the Zombies theme would be more like Plants vs Zombies, maaaybe?

It's got all sorts of different storylines, some don't even involve zombies. There's a magic one, for example
