Get Kids Moving with the Colors of the Rainbow

Have kids test their luck while engaging in an exciting movement activity. Get out that leprechaun-inspired energy this St. Patrick’s Day with this easy movement game, incorporating fun Ireland-themed movements.

You’ll Need

  • White Paper
  • Dice Template
  • Scissors
  • Crayons
  • Glue

Set-Up

First, draw the dice template below on a piece of paper. Then cut along the solid lines. Color one of the six squares each of the following colors: red, orange, yellow, green, and blue. Color the remaining square a rainbow of all the colors, as shown here. To put your dice together, fold along the dotted lines. This will begin to form a cube. Glue the flaps to the inside of the cube to complete it.  

To Play

For the activity, take turns rolling the dice and doing the movement that corresponds with the color you rolled as follows:
  • Red – Rainbow Hop: Jump side to side like you are hopping over a rainbow
  • Orange – Leprechaun Leap: Leap like a happy little leprechaun
  • Yellow – Pot O’ Gold: Squat down and pretend to lift up a heavy pot of gold
  • Green – Irish Jig: Do your own Irish jig like this one
  • Blue – Swim Around the Emerald Isle: Move your arms in a swimming motion and quickly walk around in a circle
  When a Rainbow is rolled, everyone must shout “Lucky Rainbow!” Then whoever rolled the dice will pick any movement for everyone to do. HAVE FUN!

Frequently asked questions

What comes in a Baketivity baking kit?

Each Baketivity baking kit includes pre-measured dry ingredients, easy step-by-step instructions, and fun educational activities designed for kids. Our recipes are created to help children learn real kitchen skills while baking something delicious with their family.

Do I need to buy additional ingredients?

You may only need to add a few fresh ingredients like eggs, butter, or milk, depending on the recipe. Most of the dry ingredients come pre-measured in the kit, making baking simple, convenient, and mess-free for kids.

What equipment do I need to use the baking kits?

Most families already have everything they need at home. Typically you'll need mixing bowls, a whisk, fork or spoon, measuring cups, and a lined baking pan. Some recipes may also require a microwave-safe bowl or oven.

What age are Baketivity baking kits best for?

Baketivity baking kits are designed for kids ages 4–16. Younger children may need a little help from a parent, while older kids can follow the instructions more independently and build confidence in the kitchen.

Do your baking kits contain nuts?

Nuts are not directly included in the recipes or ingredient lists. However, some components may be produced in facilities that also process nuts, sesame seeds, soy, and gluten, so trace amounts may be present.

Are Baketivity baking kits kosher?

Yes! All ingredients included in Baketivity baking kits are OU-certified kosher, and our facility is FDA-approved, so families can bake and enjoy their treats with confidence.

My ingredients feel hard or clumpy. Is that normal?

Yes! Our ingredients are vacuum-packed to keep them fresh, which can sometimes make them feel firm or clumpy. Simply open the bag and give it a shake, and the ingredients will loosen up and be ready to use.
