Get into some funky fun with this Roll a Dance game! Not only do you get to practice counting skills, but you get to shake a leg!
The kids absolutely love a dance party.
They adore turning up some silly music and showing off their “moves” in our living room. Extra bonus points if they get to shut off the lights and snap on some glow sticks.
When our youngest requested a dance party for her third birthday, I knew I had to come up with some dance-related printables that would encourage everyone at the party to bust a move.
This Roll a Dance game is the perfect way to do just that. Everyone gets moving in fun ways together, you get to play music, and you even add in some counting skills!
