Hi Sandy, they make specific paints for masonry/concrete work. My best advice would be to make sure you get it as clean as possible before painting.

Buy paint specific for bricks/stone
Definitely prime first as the bricks will soak in a lot of paint. Then I might even do a chalk paint in more of a white wash instead of complete coverage. Since paint on a floor is going to wear over time, why not embrace that look and give it a worn and weathered look from the beginning. I think this would create a cozy look!
Paint it white and sand it a bit so some of the original brick shines through it will be beautiful
Be sure to seal it after.
I love Kaykahaber's idea! That sounds awesome.
