This human board game only requires a giant dice. It can be played by maximum 4 players. Each one stands at the corner of the bounce house, then a host rolls the dice. Every kid gets to jump forward around the edge of the bounce house in clockwise, how many jumps is determined by the number of dice just rolled. Whoever first finishes a circle, wins the game.
