Get Involved

As we launch our Kickstarter, we would be grateful for any support or ideas that you may be able to share with us. We’d also like to stay in touch with you. Sign up using the form below.

Form 1

For every pledge made, we will donate £1 to grassroots movements/organisations working towards halting the climate crisis. We are  asking people to nominate organisations that they would  like to see receive these donations. The 7 most voted-for organisations will make it to the final list – the more people that nominate your organisation, the greater the chance  of making it to the final list. The list closes on 19th March at 23:59 GMT  

Form 2
Would you like to nominate a grassroots organisation/movement to receive donations from the sale of #ClimateDice?

We will also donate a free dice set for every pledge made to schools in remote areas, particularly in the Global South. 

Our goal is to distribute ONE million dice sets by the end of 2021.

Form 3

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.

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.
