Help!?
What can we use if we don't have paper or index cards for the flashcards?
If you don’t have paper or index cards, cut printer paper into small rectangles, use sticky notes or sturdy cardstock, or make digital flashcards on a tablet and still follow 'Write one control key on the front of each flashcard'.
I'm getting mixed up during the 60-second flipping round—how can we avoid mistakes?
If you lose track during the 'Set a 60 second timer' and 'Flip one flashcard at a time' step, place each flipped card in a 'done' pile and say the matching action out loud as the instructions direct to stay organized.
How can we change the activity for younger or older kids?
For younger kids, use only three controls with larger, decorated cards and a 90-second timer plus adult help for the 30-second drills, while older kids can learn more controls, shorten the timer, and add combined drills like sprint+jump during the 30-second movement sections.
How can we make this activity more challenging or personal after finishing the basic drills?
To extend the activity, build a custom obstacle course in your own Roblox place, use your colour-coded flashcards to call controls during timed runs, record best times in your notebook, and share photos and results on DIY.org as the final step suggests.
