Product description

From the author

Print and assemble a Snakes and Ladders game for a small group. The eight-page PDF includes rules, 15 circular counters, printable dice templates and two boards, numbered to 42 and 100.

A Google Slides copy link lets you customize the material before printing. Choose a board, cut out the counters and fold the dice, or use a classroom die. Players take turns moving along the numbered spaces, climbing ladders and sliding down snakes.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Practice turn-taking and rule-following in a small multiplayer group game

  • Practice one-to-one counting by reading dice pips and moving the matching number of spaces

Teaching tips

  • Laminate the printed board, counters, and dice before use for durability across multiple play sessions.

  • Use as a structured indoor-recess option during inclement weather or as a reward for students who finish work early.

  • Have students make their own copy of the Google Slides file before editing, since the shared link is read-only.

Skills covered

  • Turn-taking and rule-following — students roll dice in turns and move counters according to the written game rules.

  • One-to-one counting — students count dice pips and advance their counter the matching number of board spaces.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

Why does the file include two different game boards, one ending at 100 and one at 42?

So teachers can choose a shorter game ending at 42 for time-limited sessions or a longer game ending at 100 when more play time is available, without needing a separate purchase.
