Build flexible thinking and word confidence, one roll at a time!
Our 12 Dice Word Game is a thoughtfully designed, hands on word building experience that invites players to slow down, experiment, and persist. Using twelve beautifully crafted wooden dice, players roll and use all 12 letters to create connected words. There is no time limit, no scoring, and more than one way to solve each roll.
Made from solid wood with laser-engraved letters, the dice are durable, tactile, and satisfying to use for learners of all ages. Carefully balanced letter choices make most rolls solvable, but not all, encouraging creativity, flexibility, and problem solving rather than speed or memorization. Players are invited to try, revise, and try again.
IDEAS FOR AT HOME
• Roll the dice and work independently or together to find one complete solution
• Take turns suggesting words and connections
• Set a 3–5 minute timer and find as many words as possible with the letters rolled
• Write the words you find and compare different attempts
• Use as a calm, screen-free family word challenge
IDEAS FOR THE CLASSROOM
• Morning warm up or brain break
• Small group word work or enrichment
• Collaborative problem solving activity
• Whole class discussion using a shared roll
• Compare multiple solutions using the same letters
• Vocabulary building and spelling exploration
• Flexible activity for mixed age or mixed ability groups
Teacher Tip: Embrace the Hard Rolls
Not every roll will have an obvious solution. Encourage students to pause, rearrange, and rethink. Ask: “Which letters feel most flexible?” or “What could we try differently?” Rolling again is part of the learning, not a failure.
