Dont roll a 6 game
Ages: Any age.
Indoor or Outdoor: Either but for large movements outdoors would be safer.
Equipment/Resources: One dice. Large ones are best.
Cost: Free (unless you need to buy a dice or you could make one.)
Instructions:
1) Ask each player to pick an action or movement (eg. Star jumps, hop on one foot, run to a tree and back, touch your toes etc) they will do if they roll a six.
2) Each player then takes a turn to roll the dice.
3) If they roll a six they must do the action or movement that they selected six times.
4) That player (that just rolled a six) then gets to choose the action that the next player will do if they roll a six.
5) If they don't roll a six it's the next players turn.
6) Now try it the opposite way. So if they roll a six they don't do the action but if they roll any other number they do.
Aim: To roll or not roll a six. To get the kids playing together and to keep them active. To enhance number recognition and maths skills.
Time: Can be done for a short time or a long time. Will also depend upon how many players there are.
Players: One or more.
Why?: It's a great way to enhance number recognition and maths skills. It doesn't cost much, it can be played alone or with others and it is very inclusive.
Additions: As I mentioned earlier you can do it the opposite way. Perhaps add another number to roll as well as a six. What about keeping a tally of how many times a six is rolled?
