The Action Board Game
A DIY board game where every space gets you moving: five bunny hops, balance on one foot while counting to 5, crawl under the table. Use a paper die, bottle caps for pieces, and pick your finish line: a classic race or a team win against the timer.

Step by step
- Print the board and die template, fold and glue the die, and grab some playing pieces (bottle caps work great).
- Look at each movement challenge together before starting (5 bunny hops, crawl under the table...).
- Take turns rolling, move your piece, and DO the challenge on your space.
- Jump in and do the challenges too—that is half the fun!
- A classic race, or team mode (everyone finishes before the sand timer runs out) if losing is still tricky.
- Let the kids invent new spaces (new challenges, 'go back 2 spaces' traps) for the next round.
