Play a game of snakes and ladders




















Players take turns to roll the dice and move the number of squares they roll. The winner is the first player to reach the top of the board. Player one rolls the dice, they then make KUBO move the number of squares they roll. In this example, the student rolled a 3, so they have created a sequence that moves KUBO forward three squares. This makes KUBO finish on a ladder so the sequence also includes moving up the ladder. If their move ends on a ladder or snake this also needs to be added to the sequence of moves!

The maps have been stuck together and the numbers, ladders, and snakes have all been drawn in hand. Students can create their own boards making them as simple or complex as they like. The boards could be laminated to make them more durable and used many times. Below are examples of how to use functions in this game. How about trying the same idea with another type of board game. This isn't recommended, since this can be frustrating for unlucky players. Climb up ladders.

The ladders on the game board allow you to move upwards and get ahead faster. If you land exactly on a square that shows an image of the bottom of a ladder, then you may move your game piece all the way up to the square at the top of the ladder. You never move down ladders. Slide down snakes or chutes. Some versions have snakes on the board, while others have chutes slides.

Snakes or chutes move you back on the board because you have to slide down them. If you land exactly at the top of a snake or chute, slide your game piece all the way to the square at the bottom of the snake or chute. You only slide down if you land on the top square of a snake or chute. Take an extra turn if you roll a six. If you roll a six, then you get an extra turn.

First, move your piece forward six squares and then roll the die again. If you land on any snakes or ladders, follow the instructions above to move up or down and then roll again to take your extra turn. As long as you keep rolling sixes, you can keep moving! Land exactly on the last square to win. The first person to reach the highest square on the board wins, usually square But there's a twist! If you roll too high, your piece "bounces" off the last square and moves back.

You can only win by rolling the exact number needed to land on the last square. If square 97 is a snake head, slide as usual. Part 2. Use a faster victory rule. Having to land exactly on the final square makes the game more exciting, since it gives people a chance to catch up, but it can also make the game take too long.

Instead, you can let people roll higher than they need to reach For a little more excitement, when someone reaches or passes , give each other player one turn to try to beat them. If someone would end up higher such as instead of , he wins. Two or more people can tie and win together this way, if they end up on the same square. Add a little strategy. Have each player play with two game pieces, each the same color so no one gets confused.

When you roll the die, you can move one of your two pieces by that amount. You need to have both of your pieces reach the last square in order to win. Compete with your opponent. In this variation, each player starts on square one. To take your turn, roll two dice instead of one. Choose one die and move your piece forward by that amount. With your remaining die, you can move another player forward by the amount on that die. Make the game educational.
