⭐ **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.

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.
