Semaphore: A Full-Body Keyboard
I'm actually already working on exactly that -- after trying it out on a couple of mini-games such as https://github.com/mristin/pop-that-balloon-desktop, https://github.com/mristin/cactusss-desktop and https://github.com/mristin/ski-leu-desktop.
Please let me know if you want to join forces! You can find my contact information at: https://github.com/mristin.
I figured that I don't mind my kids playing computer games as long as they move. The first stage for me is to find a workable approach to DOS games. In particular, I thought about adapting ski-leu to race games such as Outrun & ilks.

Semaphore: A Full-Body Keyboard
Cool ideas!
I implemented a couple of mini-games using a dance mat as well:
https://github.com/mristin/dance-a-mole-desktop
https://github.com/mristin/judo-dance-desktop/
https://github.com/mristin/dance-cat-to-mouse
https://github.com/mristin/burpee-frog-desktop

Dance mat could be even easier to integrate as it acts just as a normal joystick. The problem, though, is that many games expect reaction times achievable with a keyboard & mouse, but leg movements are a bit slower.
The problem with the dance mat is that you can not use it in a school class as you need extra equipment. It worked well in a dojo for my judo classes, though.
What are some alternatives?
body-gamepad - Emulate arrow keys and two buttons with your arms and legs.
Semaphore - A full-body keyboard using gestures to type through computer vision
judo-dance-desktop - Practice judo techniques using a dancing pad.
dance-cat-to-mouse - Dance collaboratively the cat to catch the mouse.
