Inspired by @teaching_with_miss_s’s Plenary dice, I though it was such an amazing and created idea that i had to create my own Rainbow coloured one!
I can’t wait to use it in my classroom!
Its a great way to end a lesson, they children can throw the dice and discuss in pair or as a whole class what they learnt.
Thank you @teaching_with_miss_s for the inspiration.
I have made them both pastel themed so it’s easy on the eye and I’ve also designed one for EYFS/KS1 and KS2. As you can see, both templates have prompting questions to see what the children have learnt, see what they enjoyed but also see what they found tricky!
Students throw the dice twice, once to get the number for the bottom row and then a second number to get the side row. They then use the two numbers to gain the correct question or task. Has been successfully used at the end of the lesson and the students enjoy using the dice.
Some generic plenary questions as well as questions for GCSE Literature students.
Students roll a dice (the one I have is 1-8) and answer the question corresponding to the number they roll.
FREE Resource: Download our Plenary Dice to use in your PE lessons. Simply print, laminate, cut and glue. End your PE lessons by allowing students to roll the Plenary Dice and answer questions either in pairs, small groups or as a whole-class. A fun way to wrap up any lesson!
Use this template to create a plenary pairwork resource. Fill the gaps in as you wish, pupils roll the dice and translate or carry out the specified activity. Could also be used as a starter activity.
In pairs, pupils roll a dice to carry out the plenary tasks you have entered on the slide. To make it more challenging, pupils must change one detail in the phrase.
This template allows you to make your own plenary dice. Print it out and then glue the tabs to assemble your dice. Students can then roll the dice and answer the question to check understanding.
Each side has a different task to complete. They are general enough that they would suit several subjects. I have used these from KS3 through to KS5.
I recommend using thicker card to print on or stick the dice to in order to give it stability.
Plenary cube with 6 questions to review the lesson or topic.
Perfect for small group or whole class summative assessment.
Comes in colour or black and white options.
Several games that can be run from the whiteboard with ease, which students can do at the back of their books.
Included games are:
- Column addition
- Column subtraction
- Grid Multiplication (U x HTU and TU x HTU)
- Column Multiplication (U x HTU and TU x HTU)
- Division (bus stop method - division by single and double digits)
I have run these at the start and end of lessons, and kids love them. They have now replaced any scheme of work teaching relating to the basic calculations, as I just scatter them in all throughout the year at random times or if a task finishes much earlier than planned.
Beware! Some students get very competitive!

These plenary dice are a fun way for children to engage with reviewing and improving their work at the end of a lesson, or at suggested points throughout a session.
Exit slips are included so that children can also record their feedback on the lesson, supporting teacher planning for future learning sessions.
A good way to end the lesson. Press the spin button and see what social media themed plenary it will land on students then end the lesson in the task. Click on the app and the activity will appear to increase interest and engagement
I’ve also created it in a dice format and five each group one to use and they can do this on their own and if under running complete two. Students really liked this task.
Pupils work in pairs. They take it in turns to roll the dice and say in French the corresponding phrase. For example, “Je porte des chaussures et un pull”.
This is a 6 page power point with each slide being a mat that can be printed or shown in lessons to sum up the learning.
You will need a dice per group/pair.
6 tasks on each slide.
slide one - summary/knowledge tasks
slide two -number tasks based on consolidating the learning
Slide 3 - drawing tasks
slide 4 - writing tasks
slide 5 - creating a learning task for the lesson
slide 6 - helping others task
The resource is designed to be used as a plenary, allowing for peer and self assessment as the dice are thrown a question on each side of the dice can be answered by the pupil, or they can select another pupil to answer the question. The dice take up 2 A4 pages. They should be printed on to card, cut out and then stuck together with sellotape. The dice have general evaluative questions, as well as subject specific questions to be Art, however the questions can be easily edited. The questions can also allow for high order questioning to be used.
They can be used with a variety of year groups as they are very easily adapted.
