The wide range of language teaching applications quickly became apparent. Since 2000, Talking Dice has evolved to include 18 topics, workbooks, and tons of game ideas - many supplied by other teachers.

How are they used?
Watch a short video demonstration
Talking Dice can be rolled on their own or in multiples of different topics to help sentence building, grammar use and language skills generally. The applications for Talking Dice are incredibly diverse, but as examples, they can be used to teach:
- Foreign languages for all ages and ability
- English as a first language in primary school
- Special needs
- Speech & language therapy
Each topic contains six of the same dice, so that they can be spilt between small class groups of say five or six. For younger children, you may want to split them into smaller groups and buy more than one pack of each topic.
