Looking for a meaningful, low-prep activity to build connection, self-awareness, and classroom community during the first weeks of school or even throughout the year? This Roll & Match SEL Activity is the perfect tool to help your students reflect on who they are, what they need, and how they relate to others—all while having fun in small groups!

With **20 **diverse and relevant topics, students aren’t just answering random icebreaker questions. They’re thinking critically about their strengths, identifying challenges and areas of personal growth, and recognizing the people and supports that help them thrive.

This product includes two versions:

**✅ **One with 360 pre-made prompts across 20 SEL topics—featuring 20 worksheets, each with 18 thoughtful prompts (6 Strength, 6 Struggle, 6 Support) tailored to its theme.

**✅ **A second customizable set with blank worksheets—each organized by topic, with blank sections under Strength, Struggle, and Support for students (or you) to generate their own prompts.

★ Both versions are included in **print and digital formats, **with text boxes already created for easy typing or writing.

How to Play:

⭐ **If you choose to use the premade prompt version: **Each group receives a Roll & Match worksheet with prompts already filled in under the Strength, Struggle, and Support columns for numbers 1–6. Students take turns rolling a die. After rolling, they look at the row that matches their number and choose one prompt from the Strength, Struggle, or Support column to respond to. They can share their response aloud or write it down, based on the teacher’s instructions. Others in the group can comment, relate, or ask a follow-up question (optional).

⭐ **If you choose to use the blank | customized version: **Each group receives a blank Roll & Match worksheet organized by topic, with sections for Strength, Struggle, and Support under numbers 1–6. Students begin by working together to create their own prompts based on the chosen topic. Once complete, they take turns rolling a die, selecting one prompt from the matching row, and responding aloud or in writing. Group members may listen, connect, or ask follow-up questions if they wish.

▶ This resource also includes two teacher guidance worksheets, each aligned to the activity formats to ensure you know exactly how to begin and facilitate these engaging dice-rolling activities. The guidance sheets provide a clear overview of the purpose of the activity, a list of topic editions, materials needed, setup instructions, and step-by-step directions for how to play.

As students roll and respond to prompts, they’re:

✔️ Helping students reflect on their interests, daily habits, and personal challenges

✔️ Encouraging them to express their thoughts and feelings in a safe way

✔️ Promoting active listening and meaningful peer connections

✔️ Supporting the development of self-awareness, empathy, and a sense of belonging

✔️ Laying the groundwork for a respectful, supportive classroom community

▶ Whether using the 360 pre-made prompts or the editable version where you or students generate their own prompts, this activity transforms surface-level introductions into deeper, more meaningful conversations. It’s more than a get-to-know-you game—it’s an opportunity for students to share authentically and discover common ground.
