You need your group mixing, talking and connecting – but you don’t want another round of “tell us your name and a fun fact.”
Ubuntu is a Zulu word meaning “I am because we are” – a philosophy of inter-connectedness. These cards bring that spirit to life, giving you a single deck that works as an ice-breaker, a team-building tool and a reflection prop, depending on what your group needs in the moment.
What’s in the Box
- 54 durable cards, each featuring a unique object on one side and eight smaller objects on the reverse
- Digital instructions with 18+ different ways to use the cards – from quick-fire matching games to deep reflection exercises
- Hidden clues embedded in the deck (three missing objects and eleven teamwork-related words) for bonus discovery challenges

How You’ll Use It
The beauty of Ubuntu Cards is their versatility. Use the single-image side to spark conversations about shared experiences. Use the multi-image side for fast-paced pattern-matching games that energise a room. Lay them out as a reflection tool after a powerful activity. The cards are almost entirely image-based, making them ideal for multilingual groups.
Who It’s For
Perfect for facilitators, teachers, corporate trainers, camp leaders and counsellors who want one compact tool that adapts to any moment in a program — from opening ice-breakers to closing reflections.
