Snakes and Ladders is a game most people remember from childhood, and it’s just as much fun to play now. This board is magnetic, so the playing pieces stay put on their squares even if the table gets bumped or a hand slips. That makes it much easier for anyone with shaky hands, and nobody loses their place.

The board folds in half to store neatly, and the numbered squares, bright ladders and cheerful snakes are easy to follow. Roll the dice, move your piece, climb the ladders and watch out for the snakes. The first to reach 100 wins.

What you get

• 1 magnetic folding Snakes and Ladders board, about 32 x 32 cm (12.6 x 12.6 in) when open
• 4 magnetic playing pieces in different colours
• 2 dice
• For 2 to 4 players

Ideas for playing

• Side by side: a lovely game for a visiting grandchild and grandparent to play together.
• Counting practice: count the squares out loud as each piece moves.
• Reminiscing: chat about the games people played as children, at home or at school.

The playing pieces and dice are small, so a carer or caregiver should keep them tidy and stay nearby for anyone who may put things in their mouth.
