Let’s share some ideas for uses for these. I’d like to see what cool ideas people have before filling out my Q.

  • of course there’s just decorative in many different themes
  • art/ journal prompts (from @Smmarrt )
  • cleaning prompts (from @gozer )
  • tarot (from @curiousfae )
  • @JoyfulClover had a fantastic idea of one die having all cute monster heads and one die having monster bodies and then you can mix and match cute little monsters!
  • you could make some with self care ideas

I’m so excited to swap lil inches!

*I love the tarot/oracle idea.
*And the little monster mashups.
*Some mad libs type cubes. Action on one die and sassy/snark on the other, so you get some fun combos
*little environment on one, and a little creature on the other (very wee!)
*character on one and POW! ZOOM! BLAM! On the other
*I like self-care, too. Journal prompts, or inner reflection

Oh my head is spinning with ideas - the monster idea is adorable.
Will ponder some more and chime in later.

I will admit, I can sometimes let life got ahead of me and forget to connect with people. I think I will ask to have the initials of people put on it and I can play friends roulette. Roll the dice and see who I am going to call or text.

Another idea is writing prompts.

3 Likes

I may or may not be able to play, but have some ideas:
Random acts of kindness
Gratitude or prayer prompts
Wardrobe/fashion/hairstyle choices for the day
One for Colors; one for art styles
Family outings or activities (game night, etc)
Virtues/positive humankind (courage, hope, forgiveness, etc)

I love the idea, but I’m not sure what I could execute for this swap! I’m definitely going to think about it.

Blocks are ordered and questionnaire has been sent in :smiley: I love making inchies generally anyway, and really love this idea of adding them to a block to make dice

Ideas, what type of book/show you are going to read/watch. Sometimes I have the hardest time picking those out and just starting.

Sent my questionnaire in!

Maybe for international participants, I’m looking at @seeuudee, they could just send the inchies to save on postage. Just a thought.

Great idea/tip for the international swap aspect! I personally love swapping internationally. I live vicariously through the little packages sent and recd. :blush:

These ideas are stellar!

Forgive me if these are repeats but what about…
Exercises/walking areas
Scavenger hunts
Drinking game? or just looking for certain things in the shows you watch or books you read.
Putting unused or certain words into play for the day
Things to look for during the day ie. witnessing act of kindness or gratitude by others
Music genres

I had an idea last night, and I might edit my questionnaire to go with it. There are so many great idea, why not go with all of them? Request a set of gussied up dice with numbers, random symbols, or a theme on them. Then, I would create note cards for each event to correlate.
For example, make dice with different flowers on each side. Today I want to draw, so I roll the dice. I get a Dahlia. I check my chart and dahlias equal portraits. But if I wanted to clean that day, dahlias would equal the kitchen on the cleaning chart.
Does this make sense? All my partner would have to do is make pretty dice and I would make the charts for as many subjects as I wanted.
Instead of picking themes like drawing prompts, dinner meals, or the like, I would chose themes like flowers, symbols, animals, etc.
