Little Rollers
Little Rollers are unique activity dice that are designed for use in lower primary school classroom to help young children recognise and build healthy habits in order to regulate their emotions. They are made out of a variety of sensory materials and are safe to use in a classroom environment. Each dice is colour coded and includes activities that specifically correspond with an emotion or feeling, such as sadness, stress or anger.
When a child feels an overwhelming emotion they can approach their teacher who will prompt them to use the dice. The child will roll the dice and complete the activity that it lands on. There are accompanying posters that help remind the child how to do the activity.
After the child has finished the activity they will complete a reflection sheet. This allows the teacher, child and their parents to see which activities are the most beneficial. It also means that parents can start using these activities with their children outside of the classroom.
There is also a teacher’s handbook that accompanies the dice which helps guide the teacher through the use of the dice and how to teach the activities.
