Description

Break the ice with a roll of the dice! This icebreaker game features get to know you questions for middle school and high school students. Designed for back to school, this activity includes both group and independent versions that spark conversation, self-reflection, and fun.

 

Included with this Get to Know You Dice Icebreaker Game:

  • Dice Breaker Game Board – Group Version
  • Dice Breaker Game Board – Independent Version
  • Student Instructions for Group and Independent Play
  • Response Sheet for Independent Version
  • Printable Dice Pattern

 

How to Use This Dice Icebreaker Game:

Use this icebreaker on the first day of school, as a mid-year community-building tool, or for an end of the year game to facilitate meaningful interaction and light-hearted fun in your classroom. These get to know you questions are school-appropriate, fun, and engaging for students in middle school and high school!

There are two options for playing this game: a collaborative group version for fostering connection and an independent version for facilitating self-reflection.

For the collaborative version, begin with the Dice Breaker Game Board – Group Version for an engaging way to help students get to know each other. Students take turns rolling two six-sided dice – one to determine the row and one for the column – then find and answer the corresponding question on the board. Prompts include creative and reflective topics like “What’s a skill you’d love to learn?” or “Would you rather time travel to the past or future?” Students share their responses aloud to foster community and spark conversation.

If you prefer a quieter or self-paced activity, use the Independent Version of the Dice Breaker Game Board along with the Response Sheet. Students roll the dice, locate their prompt, and write their answers on the sheet. This version encourages self-reflection and is ideal for bell ringers, early finisher activities, or one-on-one classroom moments.

The Student Game Instructions are provided for both versions of the game.
Students can print and assemble the included Dice Pattern, or substitute your own classroom dice if preferred.

The Dice Icebreaker Game is a fantastic way to build community from day one. Its structured yet open-ended format invites participation from even your most reluctant students. Because the questions are light-hearted, thought-provoking, and free from right or wrong answers, it creates a safe environment for students to speak, share, and listen. You’ll find students laughing, bonding over shared interests, and discovering commonalities they didn’t know they had.

Another benefit of the Dice Icebreaker Game is its flexibility. Whether you have 10 minutes or a full class period, this resource scales easily. For a shorter session, you can have students answer just one or two questions in small groups. For longer periods, encourage deeper discussion and allow students to elaborate on their answers or ask follow-up questions.

The Dice Icebreaker Game also transitions well into other activities. For example, after a round of answering prompts, you might have students write a journal reflection based on their favorite response or something new they learned about a classmate. This makes it a great tie-in to writing, speaking, or social-emotional learning standards.

And because it’s printable and editable, the Dice Icebreaker Game can be customized to fit your classroom’s unique needs. You can modify questions to align with specific curriculum areas, seasonal themes, or learning goals. It’s also a great tool for substitute teachers, advisory periods, homeroom check-ins, or even staff development days.

For students who prefer structure, the dice format provides a clear framework that removes the pressure of “coming up with something.” For more outgoing students, the open-ended nature of the prompts gives them a chance to shine and express their personality.

You can even turn this into a class-wide challenge by tracking how many unique answers the class generates for each question, or by rotating student leaders who facilitate the game. The Dice Icebreaker Game can grow with your class, becoming a go-to resource for transitions, celebrations, or community resets throughout the school year.

Whether you’re building relationships at the start of the year, reinforcing them in the middle, or wrapping up with a fun reflection, the Dice Icebreaker Game is a low-prep, high-engagement activity that belongs in every teacher’s toolkit.
