About
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 create from the 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
This is because they are incredibly versatile and have 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 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.
What are Diceflashcards?
They were actually born out of frustration after searching everywhere for ready-made picture insert cards for my own foam dice and sadly never finding any.
So, after literally years of thinking up fun interactive dice activities for my own classrooms, followed by countless hours at home manually hand drawing hundreds of my own pictures, before attempting to cut them out just hoping they fit my dice, I thought there has to be a better way of doing this.
So a few years ago, I began the mammoth task of slowly digitsing all my previous hand created work to date, to save me precious time in the future repeating the manual creation process on loop. I also made sure that every image was inside a pre-sized box so it’s much easier to cut and fit everytime removing all the guess work.
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

Key Educational Benefits
Encourages Vocabulary Growth
- Inserts can display pictures, words or symbols, allowing children to match words with images or create stories around them
- Parents, caregivers, educators and professionals can easily swap inserts to focus on different themes (eg. animals, emotions, actions etc.) Reinforcing new vocabulary in context
Promotes Oral Language & Communication
- Dice games prompt turn-taking, asking questions and giving responses, all of which build conversational skills.
- Children can describe what they see, make up sentences or create stories based on the insert shown, enhancing creative imagination and expressive language.
Supports Phonological & Literacy Awareness
- Inserts with letters, rhyming words, phonemes and graphemes help children play with sounds and word patterns, supporting early reading skills.
- Identifying the initial sounds with dice play makes phonics practice more engaging
Fosters Social Interaction
- Dice games are inherently collabortive, encouraging children to listen, take turns and negotiate game rules, which all strengthen pragmatic language use.
- These interactions naturally provide opportunities for modelling and scaffolding by adults or peers leading the play session.
Enhances Engagement & Motivation
- The hands-on playful unpredictable nature of foam dice keeps children active and focused.
- The customisable inserts make learning fully adaptable to each childs individual level, supporting inclusion.
Supports Multimodal Learning
- HAND MOVEMENT (e.g rolling the dice, gesture, actions)
- SIGHT (observing the dice roll, looking at the images, reading the text)
- SPEECH/VERBALISATIONS(talking about the insert, creating sounds)
All reinforce language learning across multiple sensory channels.
