The game features a large plush die, with each side displaying a different color. Players roll the die and select a card that corresponds to the color shown. Each card contains a specific activity designed to stimulate conversation and enhance vocabulary development. After reading the card, players engage in the designated activity.
The card categories encompass emotions, counting, body parts, animal sounds, colors, and actions. The set includes a 6-inch plush cube and 48 laminated cards (4⅜ inches square), which conveniently store in a pouch attached to the cube.
My nearly three-year-old daughter found immense joy in tossing the oversized soft die and watching it roll, and even our two Shih Tzu dogs joined in the fun.
She particularly enjoyed examining the cards featuring various actions and eagerly handed them to either my husband or me for reading aloud.
As a parent, I appreciate that the Roll and Play Game promotes turn-taking and gross motor skills without the stress of competition.
My daughter was able to perform all the activities, although younger children might encounter some challenges with certain cards.
Each card presents a straightforward activity—such as making a happy face, roaring like a lion, giving a hug, or finding something red—to help introduce children to patterns and rules. The color cards resemble the popular “I spy with my little eye” game, utilizing color props.
As a parent, I consistently seek out new educational games that facilitate learning. With the Roll and Play Game , the potential for learning is boundless, offering excellent opportunities for my daughter to practice speech sounds, recognize colors, follow instructions, and develop various other skills.

Neat idea! I can imagine it would be a great way to play games with different ages. My youngest could participate with the slightly older children well. Sometimes it’s hard to find games for the littler ones but this looks like it would really keep them entertained!
I think this is a great educational and would be a lot of fun with little ones. My granddaughter is a little small yet, but I could see us having a blast with this in the near future.
I’ve never seen this before but I’ve no doubt my granddaughter would just love it! Thank you so much for the informative review!
