Give the dog a ball or stick and when he takes it in his mouth reward with praise and a treat, when he learns that taking the ball in his mouth gets him a treat try rolling the ball further away and when he gets the ball in his mouth he will come back for his treat.
You could play find the treat with him too. hide some treats over the house and then go with him on a "hunt" and tell him where to look saying "find it", you will have to help him at first turning over pillows on the couch and pointing out the treat but he will eventurally catch on.

My dog is exactly the same way. What I do is get a beat up towel and wave it at the dog, when he takes off after you, run! when the dog gets the towel get another one and wave that one. This is because they might not let go of the 1st one. Another thing i do is i bought one of those blue monster bats and used a knife to cut out the little oval and he loves it. :-)

Dogs like going for walks.

most dogs like playing chase. you can use a heavy duty knotted rope and drag it behind you and the dog plays chase. if they catch you, then you can play tug of war.
of course you could take them both for a walk. dogs like going outside their yards.
