SNAKES AND LADDERS • The classic board game, Snakes and Ladders, is a relatively simple game that offers lots of possibilities for variation and flexibility in design. Learn how to make your own board, which you will also be able to fold up, making it a great travel game. A board game is a bit like a journey, as you travel across the spaces. Be as creative and decorative as possible with your illustrations around the game.
