Product description
From the author
The Emotions Dice are a versatile tool for boosting emotional intelligence and literacy in children.
This set includes 7 printable dice with various emoji faces, emotion words, and scenario prompts. Using dice activates multiple learning modalities and makes recognizing feelings more engaging. The emoji and cartoon faces link visual cues to emotion vocabulary so children can identify more subtle expressions.
Dice can be used for whole class introductions, icebreaker activities, small group lessons, and counseling sessions. Roll the dice and have students name the emotion depicted or act it out. Scenario dice foster discussion about appropriate reactions and regulation strategies.
Children learn to articulate their own emotions and recognize feelings in others. The open-ended dice activities teach that all emotions are valid. However, behavioral reactions must be managed responsibly. With teacher guidance, students gain skills to navigate setbacks and nurture healthy relationships.
The Emotions Dice provide a hands-on way to boost self-awareness, empathy, and emotional regulation. Children become more adept at reading social cues, communicating needs, and coping with strong feelings. Print on cardstock, laminate for durability, cut out, and assemble the 3D dice. Add these engaging tools to guidance lessons, social skills groups, and classrooms. The Emotions Dice deliver an interactive learning experience that builds essential life skills.
Included are 7 different dice nets.
