Roll a virtual color dice with a single click. This free online tool randomly selects one of six colors, red, blue, green, yellow, orange or purple, and displays the result through an animated dice roll. Use it for classroom activities, games, crafts, exercise challenges or whenever you need to choose a color at random.
Click the button or press the space bar to roll.
How the Color Dice Roller Works
The online color dice roller works much like a traditional six-sided color dice. Each side represents one of the six colors shown above the dice. When you select Roll Color Dice, the dice rotates through a short 3D animation before stopping on the randomly selected color. The name of the result is also displayed below the dice, making it easy to identify.
You can roll again as many times as needed by clicking Roll Again. On a computer, you can also press the space bar to start another roll. Because the tool runs directly in your browser, there is no physical dice to lose and nothing needs to be downloaded or installed.
Classroom and Learning Activities
A color dice can be a useful addition to classroom and preschool activities. Younger children can use it to practise recognizing and naming colors. A teacher might ask students to find an object matching the rolled color, draw something using that color or sort classroom items into the correct group.
Colors can also represent different questions, subjects or tasks. For example, blue could mean mathematics, green could mean reading and yellow could mean a creative activity. Assigning an activity to each color allows the dice to choose what happens next in a playful way.
Games, Crafts and Group Activities
The tool can be used with board games that require a color dice, particularly when the original dice is missing. You can also create your own simple games by assigning a rule, movement or reward to each color.
For drawing and craft activities, let the dice decide which pencil, marker or paper color to use next. This can encourage creativity by introducing combinations that participants might not otherwise choose.
A color dice is also helpful for movement games. Each color could represent an action such as jumping, stretching, clapping, balancing or dancing. Roll the dice and perform the matching movement for a set amount of time.
Tips for Using the Tool
Before beginning an activity, clearly explain what each color represents. If several people are participating, write the rules down so that everyone follows the same instructions. The six colors can have entirely different meanings depending on the game or lesson.
Remember that random results do not always appear evenly distributed over a small number of rolls. The same color may appear several times in succession, and this is a normal part of random selection. If your activity requires every color to be used exactly once, it may be better to remove each color after it has been selected rather than repeatedly rolling the dice.
The tool works on desktop computers, tablets and mobile devices, making it convenient for activities at home, at school or while travelling.
