Tassel Dash
The Readiness Board Game
Relieve Your Teachers, Ready Your Students
Are you a CTE Director, College Program Director, Principal, or Educational Leader?
Do you have a goal for your students to graduate not only with their diplomas but also with an industry certification, college acceptance, scholarship, or all of the above?
We’ve created the fastest and most efficient tool to get students talking and planning for CTE pathways, college, and career—without the need for a teacher or sacrificing much instructional time.
Now, think about it—most teachers spend the first and last 15 minutes of class telling students to stop talking, put away their phones, and pay attention. This constant battle leaves teachers stressed and drains their energy, which limits their effectiveness. Worse yet, students shift into a rebellious or disengaged state of mind, making it even harder to focus on learning.
But what if that time could be transformed?
Tassel Dash brings instant order to any classroom, engaging students in CTE pathways, college and career planning at lightning speed. Through SEL-based competitive play, milestone tracking, academic vocabulary challenges, and more, it transforms every subject from “just another grade” into a milestone on the path to academic achievement, promotion, graduation, and future college and career success.
Discover Tassel Dash™
Tassel Dash™ is more than a board game race to graduation—it’s a transformative way to equip students for success in school, college, and their future careers.
Per game, up to 8 players earn college acceptances, CTE industry certifications, and scholarships while building a portfolio of real-world opportunities. Players master essential school success behaviors, gain career insights, and learn vital college readiness strategies, all while advancing their academic and career goals.
The goal isn’t just to graduate first—it’s to graduate with the strongest foundation of opportunities, paving the way for a bright future and giving students the competitive edge they need to thrive beyond high school!

"Purpose-Driven Game Cards"
Dive into the Deck of Dreams: Game Cards crafted to support school improvement goals in urban, suburban, and rural schools by helping students in need of credit recovery, bubble students, and high achievers build essential school success habits and make informed college, career, and CTE choices—all while gaining the confidence to envision and achieve their future aspirations in a FUN way!
Reduce Chronic Absenteeism
Attendance is key to student success, fostering academic achievement and grade-level progress. Tassel Dash’s Reward Cards reinforce positive behaviors such as attending school every day, completing class and homework on time, studying for tests, and attending tutoring sessions offered by the school—all of which lead to increased academic achievement. Tassel Dash aligns with Title I grant goals to support the academic success of economically disadvantaged students, whether through school-wide initiatives or targeted interventions.
Manage Behavior
Behavior management is essential for a positive school environment. Tassel Dash's Roadblock Cards help students understand how behaviors impact their future success in college and careers. By fostering self-awareness and resilience—key aspects of Social-Emotional Learning (SEL)—the game and curriculum aim to encourage better choices, reduce referrals, and keep students on track. Aligned with McKinney-Vento and Title IV-A grant goals, Tassel Dash supports equitable resources and builds the resilience needed for academic achievement.
Boost Academic Achievement
Our Challenge Cards spotlight academic vocabulary, enhancing reading comprehension, critical thinking, and cross-disciplinary learning through engaging challenge questions. Designed to align with Title I grant objectives, they connect key academic, collegiate and career terms to real-world scenarios, equipping students for academic success, standardized tests, and future college and career opportunities.
Boost Career Exploration
Supporting career readiness, our CTE Certification Cards introduce students to over 20 careers, from culinary to automotive to aviation and more. These game cards align with Perkins Grant objectives by highlighting certifications available in high school, helping students explore early pathways into the workforce and develop skills for life after graduation.
Increase College Readiness
College Acceptance Cards broaden students' perspectives on post-secondary options, including universities, technical schools, community colleges, and online programs. By exposing them to diverse pathways, these cards align with college readiness goals and GEAR UP and TRIO priorities, helping students make informed decisions that align with their interests and future goals.
Empower Financial Readiness
Scholarship Cards encourage students to explore options for funding their education debt-free, easing concerns about affordability. By showcasing diverse scholarships, these cards promote proactive planning and align with college and career readiness goals, empowering students to envision attainable pathways to higher education
