40 children with cancer who fulfills the inclusion criteria will be included. Participants will be recruited from King Fahad Children's Cancer Center, King Fahad Medical City and King Khaled University Hospital. After obtaining written formal consent, children will be randomly assigned to two groups, control and experimental. Experimental group will play 60 minutes of Wii physical activity games for three weeks, twice each week. while control group will receive conventional therapy. Fatigue will be assessed using pediatric multidimensional fatigue scale- child proxy before, weekly during the study and after. Functional capacity will be measured by six minute walk test before and after study duration, and physical activity will be repeatedly measured by godin-shephard leisure time physical activity questionnaire. All data will be analyzed using appropriate statistical analysis.
The intervention group:
The investigator will:
The duration is designed to be 60 minutes per session, but the child is allowed to rest for the time needed during the session if he/she feels tired. or if the oxygen saturation of the child reaches 93. or the heart rate reaches the predicted maximum heart rate.

| pediatric quality of life multidimensional fatigue scale | the scale measures fatigue in the dimensions of physical, sleep and rest and cognitive. the validated Arabic version will be used. the total score is 100, the higher the score the better the person is. the lower the score the more fatigued the person is. | one month |
| six minute walk test | measures the endurance and capacity of walking, by measuring the distance walked in six minutes of continuous walking. the longer the distance walked in six minutes the better the endurance. | one month |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| the Godin shepherd leisure time physical activity questionnaire | measures the units of physical activity done by the child, by multiplying the met value by the minutes of activity done per week. the scale measures units of activity, if one gets 0-18 it means the person is insufficiently active, 18-27 sufficiently active, if more that 27 then the person is active. the questionnaire consists of one question how many days did the person participate in activity, then we should multiply the number of days that person was active by 9 if the activity he/she did was vigorous, by 5 if the activity was moderate and by 3 if the activity was mild. |
