• A Snake and Ladders game board (you can either use a pre-made board or draw one on the board).

• Dice.

• Question cards (for different levels of difficulty).

• A game token for each player.

Setup:

1. Divide the class into small groups or pairs (depending on class size and time available).

2. Give each group a game token and a dice.

3. Prepare question cards based on the language focus for the lesson. For example:

   • Vocabulary Questions: “What’s the opposite of ‘happy’?” or “Name three fruits.”

   • Grammar Questions: “What is the past tense of ‘go’?” or “Create a sentence with the word ‘cat’.”

   • Sentence Structure: “Make a question using ‘can’.” or “Form a negative sentence using ‘have’.”

4. Place the game board on the desk or use a projected image on the screen.

Rules and Gameplay:

1. Roll the Dice: Players take turns rolling the dice.

2. Answer the Question: Before moving their piece, the player must answer a question or complete a task from a prepared question card. The difficulty of the question can vary depending on the class level.

   • If the answer is correct, they can move the number of spaces they rolled on the dice.

   • If the answer is incorrect, they must stay on their current square.

3. Ladders: When a player lands on a square with a ladder, they move up to the higher square (as in the traditional game).

   • Example: “What is the capital of England?” → “London!” (climb the ladder).

4. Snakes: When a player lands on a square with a snake, they move back down to the lower square (as in the traditional game).

   • Example: “Name 2 animals that live in the ocean” → if they can’t answer, they move down the snake.

5. Winning the Game: The first player to reach the final square (usually square 100) is the winner!
