Roll, Play! Dice Learning Games

Inexpensive, easily portable and with endless possibilities for games, dice are an essential in the educator’s toolbox. They are adaptable for differing ages and abilities and transcend language barriers.

A small tub full of dice is relatively cheap, light to carry and has endless possibilities!

Dicebreaker!

Last year, I had a wonderful experience supporting with some refugee children from Afghanistan on their first days in a school in Bristol. A boy, about seven years old was wary of joining the other children; he stayed at the back of the class and took his time to observe the class and get his bearings. Finally, I engaged him through rolling large dice together. Without any shared language, we soon established a simple game that whoever rolled the highest was the winner. Soon we were exclaiming our triumph or disappointment in our own languages, learning numbers and most importantly, sharing smiles and laughter. It got me thinking about the potential of dice for play and learning and interested in their history.

In this blog, I will outline some facts about dice, tips for using them and links to resources.

Did you know the dots on dice are known as ‘pips’? Read on for more facts about dice and tips for using them in learning games.

Top Tips

Choosing Dice

As well as the traditional 6-sided die, dice come in a range of materials, shapes with varying numbers of faces and corresponding pips, numbers or symbols.
Materials: I bought my favourite set of dice while teaching in Cambodia, they are hand made in colourful cotton. Large and soft enough to play with indoors and outdoors and perfect for younger children. While working in a volunteer team in the Maldives, we produced a resource pack of dice games for schools and the teachers made dice using offcuts of wood. While I generally prefer natural materials for learning resources, in the case of dice I find plastic is a good choice – it’s durable and easy to clean. The colourful, transparent dice are attractive to children. Interestingly, did you know casinos often use transparent dice to show that they are not loaded?

Shapes and Numbers

As well as the standard traditional six-sided cube with dots (pips), there are other common shapes and numbers available, including:
– tetrahedron (4 faces)
– octahedron (8 faces)
– pentagonal trapezohedron (10 faces)
– dodecahedron (12 faces)
– icosahedron (20 faces).

Traditional dice with dots enable children to practise the important skill of subitising, (learning to visualise numbers and recognise amounts without counting). Dice with numerals are also useful for number recognition. Having dice including zero and / or with numbers up to twelve is good for times tables games.

Adaptations:
– Add stickers to cover existing numbers and make the numbers lower or higher.
– Make your own dice using net templates (see download link below).
– Order custom dice.
– For visually impaired learners tactile dice can be made or purchased.

Tips for Playing Dice Games

Remote Teaching?

Use an online random dice generator:

calculator.net allows you to choose any number of dice to roll, vary the numbers of sides on the dice and find the sum and product.

online-stopwatch.com has a fantastic range of dice, including a shaker and my favourite, the pop-up die.

Ideas and Resources

Dice are just random generators; as well as numbers they can also feature words or pictures making them a valuable tool for a range of activities and subjects. For example, the My Amazing Monster resource pack I created uses dice to generate a monster name as a phonics activity and to select story elements for a creative writing exercise.
However, the area where dice really shine is in mathematics. There are so many games that can be played where maths skills can be sneaked in almost without students noticing!

When I started online tutoring in 2020, I incorporated lots of dice games into sessions as they made great starters, brain breaks or upbeat ways to end lessons. Now that I am delivering tuition in schools I have continued to use them; finding and adapting more games along the way. I have compiled the games I found, adapted and created into a document for easy reference. It can be cropped into 30 cards for easy reference, perfect for giving to adults working with a group in class. As well as simple instructions, the cards have suggestions for variations to make games simpler or more challenging to meet the needs of students.
Skills include: calculation using all four operations, comparing numbers, place value, doubling, odd and even numbers, times tables, square numbers, number bonds, probability, rounding, power of 10, negative numbers, fractions, sequences, area and perimeter.

To purchase the Roll, Play! dice games pack go to your chosen store, Teachers pay Teachers or Tes from the links on the home page.

Pollution Peril, a fishy tale!

An interactive story to illustrate water pollution and its impacts

I came across this fantastic idea while working as an environmental educator in Belize, (see references below). I went on to share it with educators and students I worked with in the Philippines and Fiji Islands as I love how it actively engages students in telling the story and provides a strong visual impression of the problem. I have since updated it with Causes and Consequences cards and photographs to make the instructions clearer.

  • A sponge fish in a jar of clean water.
    clean water
  • A sponge fish in a jar of dirty water with floating rubbish.
    polluted water

The story involves a fish travelling from its home through connected ecosystems and encountering different sources of water pollution in each. Substances like soil and soy sauce are added to the water to represent the pollutants and students consider the effect on the fish. At the end they discuss whether the fish will survive and whether it would be safe to eat it, making the link to how pollution also effects humans. A great follow up activity is asking the students to the to remove the pollutants from the water. Other ideas could be exploring how to prevent pollution at source or creating a story map.

If you would like a free download of the lesson plan including instructions, cards and editable scripts go to one of the Teachers Telling Tales online stores:

Adapting to Digital Learning, try Easel by TpT

Have you used Easel by Teachers pay Teachers for distance or digital learning? Although I taught remotely from January to July and share resources on TpT, I didn’t start to explore Easel by TpT until the summer holidays. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it is to use and impressed with its potential to create engaging resources.

Having spent a great deal of time searching for suitable resources and adapting them for online teaching, I was interested to see how Easel could make this process more effective and streamlined.

Some screenshots from my online sessions this year.

(see below for links to updates of these resources)

How Easel by TpT works:

Creating and Converting Resources.
Easel is a simple and straightforward way to create or convert worksheets or assessments. Simply upload a PDF or create a blank page, then add images, and text instructions. You can then add movable objects (words or images) or answer boxes. Students can annotate using type, pen and highlight tools. As work is set individually, it’s great for differentiation. For live lessons, it is possible to use the ‘view as pupil’ preview mode as a digital whiteboard through screen sharing.

If you share resources on TpT, you’ll see that there is the option to opt in PDF files.
For documents within a zip file you need to add Easel files, I tried and it’s easy to do.
I recommend watching this video and having a go!

Sourcing Resources
There are thousands of ready-made Easel activities and assessments listed on TpT, you can tick the box to filter for these in your search. You will see a tick and ‘Easel activity’ when you select a resource in the format section. You can customise the files to suit your needs.

Will Digital Learning Decline Alongside Covid?

Are Easel resources likely to become redundant as we recover from the pandemic?

I don’t think so. Of course, we’re all hoping for face-to-face teaching in the future, but should we need to teach remotely again, we will be so much better prepared. It’s certainly worth selecting resources that have Easel files in case. This article outlines how it is a good idea to have parallel plans; the in class resources and a parallel set in case learning needs to be completed at home.
Digital resources also have so much potential for use in a range of circumstances such as for homework, to be completed on tablets or computers in class (this may make learning more accessible for some children), for tutoring and sending work home.

If you would like ideas for teaching online and using Easel, you may find this blog helpful.

If you’d like to try out some Easel activities, here are some of my free ones, (links below):

New Resources with Easel Files

I am currently in the process of polishing the resources I created for online teaching to share; where relevant I will try to create Easel versions for all new resources.
Here are the first batch I’ve uploaded: Monster Balloon Party games, My Amazing Monster literacy lesson, Little Monster Balloon Party games, Count the Coins challenges, Place Value Problems,.

New resources with Easel files from Teachers Telling Tales


I’d love to know your experiences with Easel and online learning. Please share your thoughts or tips in the comments.

A ‘How to’ for Teaching Homophones: tips and tools

Question: Which fruit sounds like it should come in twos? Answer: Pears!

I have been planning lessons for the UK National Tutoring Programme which has been put in place to help students catch up with some of the curriculum content they may have missed due to Covid19. For one cohort of students my focus is on spelling.
Homophones feature prominently in the UK spelling guidance, (see link below), beginning in Year 2 and continuing through to Years 5 and 6 (age 10-11). They can be very confusing, so I decided to look into how to support students with learning them.

What is a Homophone?

The word homophone comes from two Greek words that have been put together – homo meaning ‘same and and phone meaning ‘sound’. Put simply, they words that sound the same, but with different meanings and spellings.

While there are many pairs of homophones, there are some with multiple words, for example, the commonly confused to, two and too.

 What did one homophone say to comfort the other homophone?

Their, there, they’re.

Resource Development

I was really inspired by the wonderful images created by Bruce Holden in his blog, Homophones, Weakly and had so much fun creating my own pairs of images in a similar style. As I wanted to use the images to engage children, I added the jigsaw element and bright colours then created versions without words for quiz activities.

A banner showing pictures to represent pairs of homophones, e.g.which witch.
Can you guess all the homophone puzzle pairs? Image by Teachers Telling Tales.

Resource Aims:

  • To engage children and make learning fun
  • To succeed in helping children with spelling

To make lessons enjoyable, they use quiz and games formats. Homophones are also great for incorporating humour in the form of jokes, riddles and tongue twisters. To give children the tools to support spelling, I built in mnemonic activities.

Mnemonics

A mnemonic is a tool for remembering. There are lots of these for spelling including acrostics, small words in big words, rules and so on.

Creating a visual image can help with recall. As well as sharing mnemonics, creating them is a powerful way to fix them in the mind.

Which Witch Homophones Quiz

Which Witch, by Teachers Telling Tales, presenter view

As I had created twenty pairs of images, I decided to split these into two quiz presentations so it would not be too long for students. There are two versions of the presentation:
Annotate, with just pictures. This is more challenging for spelling!
Label, where words are provided and can be dragged to the correct picture.
The introduction is tongue twisters and the activity at the end is to create a mnemonic.

Themes of the Week

Themes for days of the week using alliteration, e.g. Mindful Monday.

In education we often work with themes or topics over a week or block of weeks, however, having a theme for each day can also work really well. An established structure and routine gives students security and it makes planning easier for educators.
On social media hashtags for each day, for example, #TBT, (Throwback Thursday) provide themes for people to contribute to and this concept can also be applied in education to create a sense of community. At the time of writing, distance learning is common in many places and stuck at home, the days tend to blur, so having a theme for each is a good way to give structure to the week. Participating in a themed welcoming / starter, like a circle time activity, brings everyone together. Themed days are also good for home schooling and can become family traditions like ‘taco Tuesdays’ or ‘fish finger Fridays’!

Here are some ideas and brief explanations of how you could use them. The same theme could be repeated weekly, or choose a different one each week. If changing, it is useful to provide the themes in advance, (e.g. on Friday for the week ahead), to give students time to prepare if needed.

  • Missed you … share weekend news
  • Make/Made it … follow instructions or share something made before
  • Mindful / Meditation … read a guided meditation or share one from Cosmic Kids, Go Noodle or similar
  • Moustache … everyone sticks or draws on a moustache!
  • Musical … listen or play together (teacher / students share)
  • … movie a short film to introduce or recap topics and engage students (see resources below)
  • True or False … a quiz to engage and assess understanding, could be thumbs up / down for true / false
  • Talent … take turns, a few students each week
  • Tuneful … sharing a song or repeating vocal patterns for concentration
  • Tongue-twister … a fun way to wake everyone up and share laughter
  • … timehop could be past or future, history or imagination
  • Wonderful … share an achievement, observation, or ‘I wonder‘ question
  • Where in the world … show a picture or (change your video background) a building, map, food or artefact
  • Workout (exercise) or Work Out a problem or puzzle
  • Would you rather … give 2 options to choose (can use show of fingers for choice 1 or 2)
  • … wisdom an interesting quote to think about / discuss
  • Three things … is a versatile theme, e.g. three things I learned this week / I am good at / I know about ___ etc.
  • This or that … like ‘would you rather’
  • Thumbs up … something you like / agree with , opinions and preferences
  • Then and now … for history, events or personal, ‘I used to ___ but now I ___’
  • Thinking … a problem solving challenge, (see resources below)
  • Thoughtful … an act of kindness
  • … theatre share a clip or a drama game
  • Share a Funny joke, a favourite or something Feelgood to round the week off on a positive note
  • Fact or fiction … getting to know you or assessment activities
  • Friendship … is nice for recognising kindness and social skills
  • Footloose … cut loose and dance!
  • Fan Club … share a common interest
  • … fun games or activities suggested by the students as a reward / celebration

This one’s for you!

What do you do at weekends to recuperate? Educators are forever filling others’ buckets, so they need to refill their own too.

Get Your Themes

If you would like high resolution versions of the daily themes for yourself, you can download printables for a set of cards with the day and ideas on the reverse. These work well printed on card and stored in a business card holder or laminated with a hole punched through with a ring to keep together.
A chart showing all the days in a grid can be printed and stuck in your planner or on the notice board. Portrait and landscape versions can be downloaded and PNG files are included in addition to PDF so you can adjust the size to suit.
All the Themes of the Week resources come in UK and US spelling versions.
Available from tes or Teachers Pay Teachers

If you would like a personalised set of cards or chart contact me at fiona@teacherstellingtales.com

Update 22nd January 2021

During online tutoring sessions I have explored some of these themes in more depth and they were a big hit with the students! I have updated the resource packs with further resources including ‘Would You Rather’, ‘This or That’ and ‘Friday Faves’ cards, lists of discussion points for Would You Rather and This or That and blank cards to be adapted. It’s all in presentation form with PNG files so flexible to educator’s needs.

Terrible Tales of Fear and Forests

There’s a Monster in my Kitchen

As Hallowe’en approaches and scary stories send chills down spines, Greenpeace have released a terrible tale with a powerful message. The new animation follows on from the hugely successful short film ‘Rang-tan: the story of dirty palm oil’. In ‘Monster’ we meet the fearsome Jag-wah and learn how his rainforest home is being destroyed for industrial meat production.

The expressive language, rhythm, rhyme and repetition make it a rich learning resource. The illustrations capture the contrast between the beauty of a forest and the horror of its destruction.

Greenpeace have produced resource packs (for 7-11 and 11-14 year olds) that are free to download from the link below. On this page there is lots more information, tips and a calming ‘five minutes of serenity’ rainforest video.

https://www.greenpeace.org.uk/take-action/forests-lets-explore/

There’s a Rang-tan in my Bedroom

Rang-tan has been watched millions of times and there is also a book telling the tale of the baby ape who has lost its mother and home through the creation of palm oil plantations. Like Monster, it is told it two parts: the child and the homeless animal. They both end with the child taking action, spreading awareness so the problem can be resolved.

There are lots of teaching resources inspired by Rang-tan, produced by Greenpeace and others. Here are some to check out:

Tecuani and the Duende – The Voice of the Jaguar

The first animated short film from Belize, Tecuani and the Duende also features the iconic jaguar and tells a tale about the impacts of unsustainable human consumption and its impacts on the precious biodiversity of rainforests. Can a young girl be the voice of the jaguar and prevent humans from making the same mistakes again?

Do you have any favourite films or resources for teaching the rainforest topic?

One class I taught were big fans of this song and its lovely animation:

Socks Rock!

Any suggestions for songs by The Odd Socks?! Illustration Fiona Childs.

What are your favourite themes for projects?
I love project based learning with a theme that feeds into cross curricular exploration and ‘socks’ is one of my faves!
Socks are familiar to every student, everyone has their opinions about them and they lend themselves perfectly to creative and mathematical investigations and challenges.

Pairs

As socks come in pairs they lend themselves to paired activities which, in turn, are great for deepening communication and collaboration skills. For example, designing a matching pair of socks using stickers and drawings to create a pattern. Students add elements to the design for their partner to match. To make it more challenging, students can describe what they are doing without their partner being able to see. It’s lots of fun!

Paired activity to create matching socks.
Great for communication, collaboration, symmetry, shape, colour, position.

Awareness and Wellbeing Days

There are two main international awareness days that use socks as a focus:
1. #oddsocksday on November 16th as part of Anti-Bullying Week. Learn more and download resources here:

https://www.anti-bullyingalliance.org.uk/anti-bullying-week/odd-socks-day/odd-socks-day-2020

2. #LotsOfSocksDay on Down Syndrome Day, 21st March. Learn more here:

https://www.worlddownsyndromeday2.org/

Holding a Crazy Socks or Silly Socks Day has become popular for spirit days and for awareness and fund raising events as it’s a simple but fun way to get everyone involved.

Teaching Resources

I have had a lot of fun creating a range of resources inspired by socks using the themes listed above: patterns, counting, matching, design etc. As usual they are available from the tes online shop and Teachers Pay Teachers online store (see buttons on home page).
There’s a free pack and options to get all the packs in a bundle at a discounted price.


If you try them please remember to add a quick review and any pictures of the resources in action or finished work would be much appreciated!

Eight Ideas for World Elephant Day

  1. Watch baby elephants being fed.
    Live footage will be beamed across the world from the Elephant Orphanage Project in Zambia by IFAW and partners Game Rangers International.
    Click the link to watch or set a reminder.

2. Take part in online activities
Activities including colouring contests, crafts and quizzes are being organised by MEME (Management and Ecology of Malaysian Elephants).

3. Learn about elephants
Research on https://kids.nationalgeographic.com/
There’s slideshows and information on Asian and African elephants in child-friendly formats.

4. Celebrate with Elmer
Download the free Elmer activity pack. It was produced for Elmer Day (May 23rd), but if you missed it, World Elephant Day is the perfect time to use it! There’s colouring, collage, model making, puzzles, games and more.
Children could use the templates to make their own Elmer or create their own pattern as in the story when the elephants decorated themselves for a parade.
Collage using squares is great for younger children and patchwork works well for collaborative work. I once created a large wall hanging by sewing together patches knitted by my Year 6 students.

Elmer collage using colourful squares, glue with brushes and an outline. Good for early childhood or SEND settings.
A Year 6 class (10-11 year olds) knitted squares for this large wallhanging of Elmer.

For more ideas on Elmer, elephants and patterns check out the Pinterest board: https://www.pinterest.co.uk/teacherstellingtales/patterns/elmer-elephant-parade/
This will be updated so remember to follow.

5. Make an elephant mask
Here’s a lovely template.

6. Learn about Mosha
The first elephant to receive a prosthetic foot after being injured by a landmine at just 7 months old. Mosha inspired Elephant Parade, a fantastic project to raise funds for Friends of the Asian Elephant.

Artists from around the world create beautiful designs for elephant statues that are displayed in cities and auctioned to raise funds to help elephants. Smaller replicas are produced for sale. I was so moved when parents of a class I once taught bought me one as a thank you gift at the end of the year.

Replica of Spring Blossom created for Elephant Parade by Ciska van der Meer.
What a beautiful gift!

7. Design an elephant for a parade.
You can submit your sketches using a form here.
You can also take part in the Artbox Contest by decorating an elephant model, your design could end up on a full sized elephant in an exhibition!

Artbox from Elephant Parade, shows elephant model, paints, brushes, palette, leaflets and box.

8. Support Elephant Conservation
Elephant Nature Park in Chiang Mai, Thailand was the first ‘Hand Off’ project in Asia, providing a sanctuary and retirement home to elephants that have been abused and injured through logging, circus and tourist camps. As the coronavirus pandemic has affected tourism they have taken on elephants from other places where the owners are no longer able to afford to keep them. I visited there last December when I took these photos. I recommend checking out their website and following on social media, they regularly post videos great for sharing with children.
How about celebrating World Elephant Day by making a donation or sponsoring an elephant?
