  • My First Snakes & Ladders is a perfect introduction to board games for younger players. This classic family game has been thoughtfully designed to support early learning, helping children develop counting skills, turn-taking, and an understanding of traditional gameplay. Each player selects a chunky character playing piece along with a matching character token, making it easier for younger children to remember which piece belongs to them. Players take turns rolling the dice and moving around the board. Landing on a ladder means a speedy climb towards the finish, but watch out - landing on a snake means sliding back down! The first player to reach the finish wins.

    With extra-large spaces and durable playing pieces, this version of Snakes & Ladders has been specially designed for little hands and developing minds. It provides the perfect balance of fun and learning, supporting early numeracy and social skills in an engaging and interactive way.
