Snakes & Ladders
A free live quiz game for the classroom
The board game, played by the whole class at once. Pupils answer to roll, and answer again to climb a ladder.
The class board during a game of Snakes & Ladders.
How a round plays
- A right answer rolls the die. A wrong answer means no roll that turn.
- Land on a snake and slide down. Land on a ladder and answer one more question to climb it.
- Some squares give a boost, a trap or a swap. A shield blocks the next snake, a meteor knocks back nearby rivals, and a showdown is a duel with the nearest rival.
- The first to square 100 wins. If nobody gets there, the furthest player wins when time runs out.
On the board: The 100-square board with every pupil's creature on their square.
