50+ vocabulary categories - animals, food, sports, and more.
Make one die or two per page - same category, different categories, or image + text.
Text mode can add real dice dots to the background - useful for board games.
Math operators, phonics digraphs, conversation prompts - text mode works for anything.
Prints as a flat template. Cut along the lines, fold, and glue or tape the tabs.
Pick a vocabulary category and choose 6 images - one per face. Make two image dice from the same or different categories.
Type any text on each of the 6 faces - words, questions, numbers, operators, phonics rules, or conversation prompts. Optional dot background.
One image die and one text die on the same page. Students combine what they roll from each die - great for mixing vocabulary with question prompts.
The basic idea: students roll the dice and use whatever vocabulary or prompt comes up. Here are some starting points across different subjects and skill levels.
Make two image dice with animals. If "a horse" and "a pig" come up, students make a comparison sentence: "A horse is faster than a pig." Works with any category that invites comparisons.
One image die (animals, food, etc.) and one text die with questions: "What does it eat? What color is it? Where does it live? Do you like it? Have you ever seen one?" Students answer for whatever image they roll.
Text die with punctuation and grammar prompts: "." "?" "not" "because" "but". Pair with an image die - students must make a sentence, negative statement, or question using the grammar cue and the image.
Text dice with phonics digraphs and letter combinations: ch, sh, ng, qu, ph, th. Students roll and have 2 minutes to write as many words as they can containing those phonics patterns.
Text dice with numbers and different operators (+, -, x, ??). Or combine regular dot dice with an operator die for simple arithmetic practice at any level.
Text dice with sentence starters: "Have you ever...?" / "Do you have...?" / "Are you going to...?" / "One time I..." Roll one, complete the prompt. Low-prep warm-up for any age group.
Instead of using two image dice, try pairing one die with a printable board game. Students use the content from their die roll together with the content from their board position - doubling the vocabulary practice per turn. The board game maker uses the same image categories.
Images, text, or both - print, cut, fold, and roll.
