One you have the dice picked that you are going to use. then you move on to using the dice.
Before you start using the dice you always want to make sure they know what the movements are.
You have have kids roll the dice and then do the movement. You can do that a few times. You can tell them how many to do for each roll or just do it for so many seconds.
Adding the Speed Die
You can add the speed dice to the movements. When you do this the slow is really slow and the fast is fast and you might want to tell them to do smaller movements when it is fast to avoid damage.
Adding A Number Dice to the Movements
You can use the number dice on the site and add the number dice to the rolls they make.
I put in numbers 5 to 10. It gives a nice amount of times without kids betting board doing loads of each movement.
