Balance Dice

Use the KIDDO Balance Dice print-out to explore new ways to balance!

Set up

Print off the balance dice from the Take-Home Resources tab (or download PDF from this page). Cut out the dice outline and stick the tabs together to create the dice.

How to play

Step 1:

Once you've constructed your dice, give it a roll!

Step 2:

Follow the balance pose that the dice lands on

Step 3:

Roll again, throw it further or try and do cool spinning tricks with the dice!

Variations

Make it easier

Show the child how to do the balance

Make it harder

Write a time (e.g 8/5/10 seconds) on each face, the first roll determines which balance pose to hold, the second roll determines how long it must be held for
If playing with someone else, if you correctly guess what face it lands on, the other person has to do the balance, not you
