#ClimateDice
Welcome to the home of #ClimateDice - A place for imagination and possibilities!
About Climate Dice
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.
With every set of Climate Dice you buy, 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
#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.
Together, we’re all working to make the world a better place. You can find out more over at: www.mindyourfootprint.org.uk
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.

Further Research And Thanks
Our games and resources – and, in particular, the #ClimateDice have been developed by building on the fantastic work of many academics, educational pioneers and activists working in this field over the past few decades. Below is a selection of some of this important work, in no particular order. We encourage you to explore this work further for yourself.
