What is Gross Motor?
It is big movements using parts of the body like legs, arms, and torso. This can include running, jumping, moving arms or legs, crawling, and more!
Gross motor can be loads of fun!
Why use theme gross motor activities?
I like themed gross motor activities because it is different from other gross motor activities. It changes how you do the movement, and kids can have fun relating to the themes in the set.
Halloween Gross Motor Dice Printable
The Halloween Gross motor dice printables have 6 movements with cauldron, Frankenstein, bat, cat, ghost, and frog. You have a speed dice and a movement dice. You have two types of dice: cube dice inserts and folding dice options.
A lot of the Halloween themes were taken from Halloween books that we love.

The Halloween Gross Motor Dice
We look a lot of themes from our favorite books and also took one of our favorite Halloween costumes, Frankenstein, to be in the set.
You have the following movements: cauldron, Frankenstein, bat, cat, ghost, and frog.
There are two versions of the dice a cube dice insert or a folding dice. We always use cube dice because they last longer. We printed them on white cardstock to help the inserts last longer.
The Halloween Gross Motor Movements
There are 6 movements on the dice. They are all fun themes from Halloween. I tried to pick images that were not scary but fun. You can see a description of the movements below for each side of the dice.
Walk like Frankenstein: You walk with straight arms and legs.
Stir the Cauldron: You have a pretend cauldron in from of you and you stir it in big circular motions while pretending to hold a stick.
Fly like a Bat: You flap your arms really fast. You can have them straight our or short up to your side. We love to make a flapping noise while doing the bat movement.
Arch your back like a Cat: You get on your hands and knees and arch your back up and down.
Float like a Ghost: You lay on your tummy and lift up your arms and legs. Or you can pretend to drift or float around the room.
Jump Lik a Frog I just love this little frog and we love jumping like a frog so it was a fun one to add.

Adding number and speed dice with the Halloween Gross Motor Dice
One thing I love about dice is that you can always add more. Each set has a speed dice which means you can add three different speeds they do the movements. This can make it fun and silly and changes a few things.
Another dice you can add is a number dice. We use this a lot and some times without the speed dice. So we repeat the movement so many times. We use the numbers from our number dice. They go great plus I can reuse the dice over and over.
Plus with the cube dice, my girls love that they can throw them up in the air and the dice last longer. I can’t tell you the number of times they have hit the ceiling!
