Snakes and Ladders

Still working on our subtraction skills, I introduced a new (old) game to the students. Snakes and Ladders! Of course everyone knew how to play this classic board game, but, as usual, I had to throw in a twist: we replaced the rice with the cards we used in yesterday's Connect 4 game. I printed off and laminated a few Snakes and Ladders boards, though they were not the typical 1-100 boards, there were less spaces and no numbers to help the students out. The students didn't really seam to mid I was throwing this extra work at them, they were just mostly excited to play Snakes and Ladders with their friends at school instead of doing work (or so they thought).

This is the board game I used which I found on the website Communication 4 All:

Here is my lesson plan for this little game:
