Equipment: a dice

How to play:

Roll the dice to create your own unique dance! Each roll of the dice gives you a new dance move. Follow the instructions below and throw some shapes. Dance to music or your own rhythm, alone or with friends/family members. Use your imagination and maybe make up some moves of your own.

If you throw a...

1. Around the world – Balancing on one foot, spin around.

2. Leaping frog – Crouch down on the ground and jump up in the air, with your arms out wide.

3. Tippy tap – Stand with your hands on your hips, tap your foot in front of you, to the side and behind you. Repeat with the other foot.

4. Rollin’ – With your hands in fists, bend your arms out in front of you and roll one over the other, repeat four times and then roll them backwards.

5. Hip hop – Stand on one leg, with one arm straight above your head. Hop 3 times and punch the air each time. Repeat on the other leg.

6. Freestyle twist! – Go wild and try whatever moves feel fun. Try something different every time you throw a six.

Skill Tip:  keep the moves simple and low to the floor to start with, then progress onto jumping higher

Challenge:

• Can you remember all 6 moves?
• Can you throw the dice twice and link those 2 moves together?
