How to play
A shortened fitness take on the classic game Yahtzee, this fitness session should create fun and excitement. Get the participants into teams of 4 or any number that suits your group size. As per the traditional game of Yahtzee, the participants roll 5 dice and try to get the highest score they can. Once they have rolled the dice they can either reroll some or all of the dice up to a total of 3 times. After 3 rolls they need to choose a category to score in the table below eg. They may have 3 ones and therefore choose to pick the ‘ones’ category. In this instance they would put their total of 3 into their score and then complete the required exercise attached to this. Then they would come back and roll again to try and obtain another category and complete the exercise assigned to it. Once there are only 1-2 categories left they may not be able to match a category eg. They may need to obtain a small straight and are not able to achieve it in their 3 rolls. In this instance they would get a zero for that score and as punishment they would complete double the reps of the exercise for that category. The game continues until the teams complete their scorecard. The winning team is the team that gets the highest score. Between rolls and exercises, get the group to perform a 100m or 200m run as a team.
