Directions To Play

If your player is not ready to use two dice, then modify the game and just use one die with the first six moves. It will still be a blast to play together!
Game set up:
1. Print the 4th of July Roll A Movement page. If you plan to keep score, also print as many copies of the score cards as you need. There are 3 score cards per page.
2. Optional, but highly recommended: Laminate your Roll a Movement page and your score cards so you can play again and again! This is my small, but mighty laminator.
Game play:
1. Player 1 rolls two dice. Count the number on the dice and then everyone moves as directed for that corresponding number.
2. Player 2 rolls and does the corresponding move. Continue until you have complete all the movements.
