Rolling With Relationships

Create a simple and fun way to reflect on how you’re building developmental relationships in your daily practice.

Through this activity, you’ll make your own “Developmental Relationships Dice” to use as a simple and fun way to integrate the elements of the Developmental Relationships (DR) Framework into your daily practice. This activity works in any group size, and can be easily adapted to do alone. This activity works best as a consistent practice over time.

Developmental Relationships are close connections through which young people discover who they are, cultivate abilities to shape their own lives, and learn how to engage with and contribute to the world around them. The DR Framework—express care, provide support, challenge growth, share power, and expand possibilities—is not a program or curriculum, but a lens to view relationships.

Being intentional about integrating this framework into your setting takes time, just like fostering any habit. But regular practice always makes a difference, and a simple activity like rolling dice can help adults move the DR Framework from head-knowledge to heart-based habit—and foster a common language along the way.
