Climate Dice

Keep Imagination Rolling!
#ClimateDice

Welcome to the home of #ClimateDice - A place for imagination and possibilities!

In a world where climate change is an ever-growing threat to our future, we have been able to track the rising levels of ‘climate anxiety’ that children and young people across the world are experiencing.

Our young people are worried about their future, frustrated about their ability to change things in the adult world, however they are becoming both more politically active and vocal on these issues -they are asking to be heard and they are asking for our help.

About #ClimateDice

 

Climate Dice is storytelling dice game with a climate change theme.
A powerful tool to educate children about climate change and environmental issues, and to empower them to re-imagine an alternative better future where they can transform the climate crisis threats into new possibilities and opportunities for change. 
It's a great tool to talk to children about climate change and address climate anxiety and let them discuss their fears and hopes for a better world.
 
Our InDemand campaign is live!
With every pledge, we will send a set of dice to you, and another set to schools in remote areas of the world, which we estimate to reach hundreds of children and to empower them to dream and re-imagine an alternative better future. A future they
own and live, in peace and harmony with everyone on this planet!

 

How it works

Playing the game is simple. Every dice set has pictures (instead of numbers) on each of the sides. Players take turns to roll the #ClimateDice using the pictures that land face-up to create their own stories. They are in control of the story and can take the conversation wherever their imagination wishes. #ClimateDice is designed in a way to boost a child’s imagination and help them to re-imagine an alternative better future.

Who We Are

The #ClimateDice campaign has been developed in collaboration between Plan-V and MindYourFootprint. We’re a small group of grown-ups with big dreams and bright imaginations. We exist to support and educate young people who are passionate about their planet by giving them the tools to explore environmental issues, empowering them to imagine a more positive world, so that they can change things for the better.

For over a decade, we’ve been working with schools to provide free children’s activity packs and resources. We understand that sustainability education can be challenging, so we’ve created an educational model that makes it easier to translate complicated sustainability and social issues into entertaining engaging activities, using interactive language.

Our resources are designed to help children imagine an alternative, better future, showing how their daily choices affect the world around them and how they can make a difference through their decisions. Children love what we do because our dreams are closer to theirs, so we work with pupils who – like us – believe that anything that can be imagined is possible.

Together, we’re all working to make the world a better place. You can find out more over at

The Learning theories behind our game

According to research, including that undertaken by Dr. Bruce Lipton, we use our conscious mind only 5% of the time, while the remaining 95% of our life is controlled by our subconscious. Our subconscious is programmed in the first seven years of our life. To make learning about the world more interesting for them, we developed  the 6E model – Entertain, Engage, Educate, Explore, Experiment and Empower. Our 6E model is our way to educate children, very gently, while they are having fun. We’ve tested our 6E model for over a decade in many schools, both directly and indirectly through a number of programmes, such as Eco-Schools and Green Schools. Our results have been hugely encouraging. Through our games, children learn about social and environmental issues, such as biodiversity, transport, energy, water, waste, litter, healthy lifestyles, endangered animals, global citizenship, marine health and ocean plastic, peace, health and wellbeing etc. By playing our games, they learn how every decision that they make in life affects the environment and life of others on planet Earth. It is this learning that shapes their subconscious. In other words, they become eco-subconscious citizens of Earth and can play their part in making positive change happen.

What people say about Climate Dice

Harriet ShugarmanAuthor, How to Talk to Your Kids About Climate Change

“To create a future where we not only survive, but thrive, we must first envision what this future looks like. Climate Dice is a delightfully simple yet incredibly sophisticated tool that helps children of all ages find the language to express their thoughts, emotions, hopes and dreams about our climate reality - the future they want - and how to get there. Every school and household should have a set!”
Dr Wayne VisserWriter, Speaker, Professor of Integrated Value at Antwerp Management School

“We are gambling on our #climate future – and all of life depends on the outcome. But we don’t need to take that chance. Instead, we can stack the odds in our favour, starting with #education on climate. I was recently introduced to the Climate Dice and like all the best ideas and inventions, it is simple and powerful. #Climatechange is no #game, but the #dice is a creative, fun way to encourage children and adults – in our #schools, #universities and #workplaces – to talk about climate problems and #solutions as a first step towards taking #action. Let’s get rolling.”
Johanna Catani Founder of SDG Monitor

“Climate Dice is a wonderful tool to open up your imagination. It gives you limitless possibilities to create new ideas, thoughts and actions that will have positive impact towards environment and social issues. We, at SDG Monitor, believe that anyone, be it a company or an individual, can contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Climate Dice brings the SDGs alive through game and play and introduces the global goals to children in a fun and positive manner. What a great way to learn about our planet and each other! “

Climate Dice and SDG

Climate Dice supports ALL United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Every single one of them. The Dice links up with the goals through either the images used on the dice, the way the campaign has been developed or the way that the Climate Dice campaign is being managed.
