Snakes and Ladders is a game that has enthralled generations of children and often their parents too! It is easy to play and a lot of fun.
The aim of the game is to be the first player to reach the end by moving across the board from square 1 to square 100. You will travel the board from base to top, right, then left and so on.
Commence playing:
The first player to roll 1 can enter the board (sometimes it is 6). Each subsequent player must also throw a 1 or 6 to enter the board. The dice must be rolled again to show the number of squares that the player entering the board may move initially. Place the marker on the appropriate square.
Continue playing:
You each take a go. The person with the highest amount starts first. The person with the second highest goes 2nd and so on. BUT DO NOT MOVE THE COUNTER.
- Snake: if a player lands at the tip of the snake's head, his or her marker slides down to the square at the snake's tail.
- Ladder: if a player lands on a square that is at the base of a ladder, his or her marker moves to the square at the top of the ladder and continues from there.
Complete the game:
The first player to square 100 is the winner but you must have the correct number on the dice to land on the 100 mark.
