The Halloween Gross Motor Dice
We look a lot of themes from our favorite books and also took one of our favorite Halloween costumes, Frankenstein, to be in the set.
You have the following movements: cauldron, Frankenstein, bat, cat, ghost, frog.
There are two versions of the dice a cube dice insert or a folding dice. We always use cube dice
The Halloween Gross Motor Movements
There are 6 movements on the dice. They are all fun themes from Halloween. I tried to pick images that were not scary but fun. You can see a description of the movements below for each side of the dice.
Walk like Frankenstein: You walk with straight arms and legs.
Stir the Cauldron: You have a pretend cauldron in from of you and you stir it in big circular motions while pretending to hold a stick.
Fly like a Bat: You flap your arms really fast. You can have them straight our or short up to your side. We love to make a flapping noise while doing the bat movement.
Arch your back like a Cat: You get on your hands and knees and arch your back up and down.
Float like a Ghost: You lay on your tummy and lift up your arms and legs. Or you can pretend to drift or float around the room.
Jump Lik a Frog I just love this little frog and we love jumping like a frog so it was a fun one to add.
Adding number and speed dice with the Halloween Gross Motor Dice
One thing I love about dice is that you can always add more. Each set has a speed dice which means you can add three different speeds they do the movements. This can make it fun and silly and changes a few things.
Another dice you can add is a number dice. We use this a lot and some times without the speed dice. So we repeat the movement so many times. We use the numbers from our number dice. They go great plus I can reuse the dice over and over.
Plus with the cube dice, my girls love that they can throw them up in the air and the dice last longer. I can’t tell you the number of times they have hit the ceiling!
