the directions on the cubes. For example, if you roll
jumping jacks,
3,
and
red,
then everyone on a red mat will do three jumping jacks.
3. If you roll the side of the color cube with all colors, then it is an ALL
PLAY and all players do the exercise.
Alternate Versions of Play:
• Only use the exercise and number cubes and have the whole class
or small group do all exercises.
• Only use the exercise and color cubes and call out any number you
want. Most exercise sets are about 10 –15 repetitions.
Ready, Set, Move
Small group
Practice simple addition facts! You will only use the color and number
cubes for this activity.
1. Spread one mat of each color around the room and have each
student choose a mat to stand on.
2. Have one student call out any number.
3. Roll the number cube. Add this number to the number that was
called out. The teacher may want to announce the addition fact
that has been created.
4. All students should mentally compute the sum.
5. Roll the color cube. The student standing on the color that was
rolled announces their solution.
Alternate Version of Play:
• Play the same activity listed above, adapting for subtraction,
multiplication, and division.
Ready, Set, Group
Whole class or small group
Use the mats to create flexible groups in a fun way!
1. Have each student roll the color cube and take the matching
color mat.
2. Tell students with the same color to form a group and start the
activity of your choosing.
