Instructions for Snakes and Ladders

1.  Begin with the game pieces off the board, next to the number "1" space.

2     Have the first player roll the dice. That person then moves his game piece the number that he rolls on the dice.

3    Move around the board in number order. Move from Space 1 to 2 to 3 and so on until you reach Space 100.

4    Have the second player roll the die. She moves her game piece the number that she rolls on the die.

5       Move your piece up the ladder to the space where the ladder ends, if it lands exactly on a spot with the beginning of a ladder.

6         Reach space 100 by exact roll and win the game. For example, if you're one space away from Space 100, you must roll a 1 to win.
