Dice Flashcards

Hi, I'm Alison the founder of Diceflashcards.com

“For almost 30 years now, I’ve been supporting children and adults around the UK, across a wide range of settings and in the home.

In that time, I’ve utilised many different play based teaching aides and resources available, but one very simple toy always stands out for me above the rest.

EDUCATIONAL FOAM POCKET DICE…

(Also known as ‘Learning or Language Dice Cubes’)

So just why is that?

In addition to their simplicity to use, striking colours and light weight handling, I believe it’s quite simply the instant excitment the created from the totally unpredicatable ‘roll of the dice’!

It’s genuinely no coincidence why nearly every board game ever made uses a form of dice to play for the exact same reason, it’s exciting unpredictability.

As with both children and adults, if something is fun or exciting we tend to focus more and pay attention for longer. That’s why I’ve personally seen a consistent marked increase, in both focus and engagement every time I use Foam Dice with both individual 1 to 1 or group sessions.

For me, introducing these simple education toys in my sessions was a total game changer!

PLUS – In the classroom or at home, where every second counts, any game activity that is ready to play with in seconds, is a guaranteed win-win especially with teaching staff, parents and professionals alike and Foam Dice tick all of these boxes.”

What are Educational Foam Pocket Dice?

Educational Foam Pocket Dice have been around for many years and are widely used by:

Nurseries
Pre-Schools
Schools
Parents / Grandparents
Care Professionals
Speech and Language Therapists

They are perfect for use with ALL children and adults, supporting them with speech, language and communication skills. Particularly useful for supporting:

English as an additional language learners. (EAL/ ESL)
Speaking and listening skills
Turn taking
Imagination and creativity

Why are they so popular?

This is mainly because they are very quick and easy to use and are incredibly versatile having many key qualities as a fully inclusive education toy.

They are very visually stimulating and ergonomically designed like soft play toys, so they are lightweight and easy to handle with varied physical abilities.

They have clear plastic pockets on every face / side, which means they have limitless interchangable faces, so your learning content / theme can be never ending.

This means, most importanly, they are scaleable to the participants age and ability so can also progress as a learning tool as they develop and progress too.

Simply combine them with attractive age/developmental stage appropriate pitcure inserts and targeted activity games based on individual ability and they instantly become a very effect learning opportunity, especially when supporting language development.

Start with one dice and theme for simple games and then add additional dice with different themes for more challenging tasks like sentence building and story creation etc.

Diceflashcards.com was actually born out of my own frustration after searching everywhere for ready-made picture insert cards for my own foam dice and sadly never finding any.

So, after years of thinking up fun interactive dice activities for my own classrooms, followed by hours manually creating inserts by drawing or downloading random pictures, before attempting to make them fit my dice, I thought there has to be a better way of doing this.

So a few years ago, I began the task of slowly digitising all my previous manual creations to date, saving me precious time in the future repeating the manual creation process on loop. I also made sure that every image was already inside a pre-sized box so it’s much easier to cut and fit everytime removing all the guess work and the result?…

650 pre-sized full colour flashcards ready to just PRINT, CUT and PLAY!

I know first hand, both as a parent but especially over my decades in education, finding time to think up, let alone create resources, is almost non- existent, so by creating Diceflashcards.com hopefully it can also help you save that valuable time to concentrate on precious teaching time instead.

What I love most about Diceflashcards, is that the activity / lesson potential is only limited by your own imagination when it comes to the picture inserts and activity games you can play.

Whatever ideas you come up with can work, from simple name games, sentence building, creating stories, draw what you see type activities or even acting out the picture.

To help you get started on the right track, even with no prior experience, EVERY single pack also comes with 10x FREE fun activities + a FREE BONUS GIFT of a blank set of pre-sized squares for you to print off and draw your own pictures if you wish.

Multi-purpose

No Dice??… No Problem!!

Although primarily designed specifically to insert into Foam Pocket Dice, they can also be used as standalone Flashcards, Bingo Cards, Fishing Games, Find the … Games and Matching Pairs etc. making them fully multi-purpose.

So if you don’t already have any foam dice, you can still use our Flashcards for multiple activities with or without the dice.

However if you want to increase your game excitment to the max, foam dice are available to buy in our shop here
