School counsellors, youth workers, therapists, teachers and parents looking for a printable mental health game will find this dice activity useful for gentle conversation starters. It is designed for children, teenagers and groups who may need an easier, more playful way to talk about feelings, coping skills, confidence, self-care and wellbeing.
In a classroom circle time, counselling session, youth group or family check-in, this roll and talk dice game gives people a clear prompt to answer without putting them on the spot. Players roll two dice, match the numbers on the grid, and take turns responding to the question in that square.
The board includes 36 mental health conversation prompts covering mood, worries, sleep, gratitude, favourite memories, stress, hobbies, appearance, confidence, feeling safe and personal goals. Questions such as “What helps you sleep better at night?”, “Who can you always talk to when you need to?” and “What is something kind you did for someone recently?” keep the focus practical and reflective.
Prompts also encourage self-awareness and strengths-based discussion, including what lifts someone’s mood, what makes them feel calm, what they are proud of, what gives them energy, and how they celebrate achievements. There are also forward-looking questions about trying something new, goals for the next six months and being kinder to yourself.
The simple dice format makes it suitable for primary-aged children who can read the prompts, secondary school pupils, teenagers, and young people in mentoring, therapy or social work sessions. Adults could also use it in wellbeing workshops, support groups or informal check-ins where a light structure helps people share at their own pace.
The instructions are built into the page: grab two dice, roll both, find where the numbers meet, take turns answering, and listen kindly. It works well as a printable feelings game, mental health icebreaker, social emotional learning activity, wellbeing discussion tool or conversation card alternative.
