Excellerations® Emotions Dice: Kindness & Caring

Ages 3+ / Grades PreK+

Kindness starts with easy to understand ideas and thoughtful lessons for children, and there’s no better way to illustrate that point than with this simple yet fun activity that turns learning about kindness and caring into a game that they can play. This 12-sided die features ideas and ways to be kind to others, like using good manners, sharing hugs, helping out with chores and more. You can use this die when real world situations arrive when kindness is needed or plan a lesson around the ideas that the die provides, explaining how each one can be beneficial. Simply sit in a circle with your children or students and have them take turns rolling the die and practicing the suggestions.

This easy to grasp and even easier to use emotional learning tool is a fantastic way to help children in preschool, Kindergarten or in daycare situations understand the importance of kindness and empathy. You can use it to help children start developing coping skills or behavior management skills early on. This die is either sold individually or is sold in a set of three unique dice that each offer different strategies on different topics, including coping with conflict and calming and focusing activities.
