Musical Colors Large Group

Students each get a turn to roll the dice and see what color it lands on, music is played and when it stops, everyone has to go find that color and stand on it. The more friends on a dot, the merrier!

Color's are a bit off in the picture but no worries, they're a lot more bold and 'standard' in real life!
