Prepare this activity
Move along the route according to the die. In the usual version, landing at a ladder’s foot takes you to its top, while landing on a snake’s head takes you to its tail. Trace an example before starting.
Details to settle first
Check the numbering direction, which can alternate between rows. Agree how players reach the final space and apply the same condition to everyone.
Try a complete turn
Demonstrate a turn: show whose turn it is, how they move and which action they must resolve. Keep the same rules throughout the game. For a blank board, write down your rules so you can repeat the game without changing them midway.
