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.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Walk like Frankenstein:<\/strong> You walk with straight arms and legs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stir the Cauldron:<\/strong> You have a pretend cauldron in from of you and you stir it in big circular motions while pretending to hold a stick. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Fly like a Bat:<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Arch your back like a Cat:<\/strong> You get on your hands and knees and arch your back up and down.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Float like a Ghost:<\/strong> You lay on your tummy and lift up your arms and legs. Or you can pretend to drift or float around the room.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jump Lik a Frog<\/strong> I just love this little frog and we love jumping like a frog so it was a fun one to add.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/blog\/10-2019\/halloween-gross-motor-dice2.jpg\" alt=\"Free Halloween Themed Gross Motor Dice - 3Dinosaurs.com #printablesforkids  #freeprintable #3dinosaurs #grossmotor #grossmotordice #3dinosaurs \"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>You might also like these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kidsyogastories.com\/halloween-breaths\/\" target=\"_blank\">Halloween breaths<\/a> that you can do with kids.<\/p>\n<h2>Adding number and speed dice with the Halloween Gross Motor Dice<\/h2>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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 <a href=\"\/wordpress\/index.php\/free-writing-practice-number-dice\/\">numbers<\/a> from our number dice.
