At a glance
- Pick a move for each number on the dice together, such as 1 is 5 star jumps and 3 is a bear crawl to the door and back.
- Your child rolls the dice and you both do the move.
- Keep rolling for 3 minutes and count the moves you do. A 6 is your child's choice.
- Progress 1: Roll twice and do both moves back to back.
- Progress 2: Hide the list of moves, so your child has to remember what each number means.
If it's not working: Make each move shorter, like 3 star jumps instead of 5, or bear crawl halfway.

Set up
- Together, pick a move for each number. For example: 1 is 5 star jumps, 2 is 5 hops on each leg, 3 is bear crawl to the door and back, 4 is 5 throws and catches, 5 is balance on one leg for 10, 6 is the child's choice.
Anywhere.

Three things to say
- Do every move properly, not quickly.

Work hard for the whole three minutes.
Both feet
Hops on each leg.
Heads up
Watch the dice, then move.
For your birth year
Pick a birth year to show the tweak for that group.
- Under 5s
- Use a big soft dice or the app, and swap hops and one-leg balances for stomps, jumps and animal walks.
Safety: Move furniture back first. Use a soft ball indoors. Jump on carpet or grass, not hard floors.
