One hundred numbered squares, a six-sided die, and a suite of ladders to carry you up and snakes to carry you down. As far as games go, it doesn’t get much simpler. Yet snakes and ladders is one of the most popular and enduring board games in the world, a diversion that you can be confident that you, your children, their grandparents and their great grandparents have all played a similar version of. However, what we know as snakes and ladders is actually a derivation of a much older Indian game called moksha patam. Emerging from the same family of spiritually inclined dice games as both Ludo and Parcheesi (gyan chauper and pachisi) around the 2nd century BCE, mokshawhich refers to the nirvana-like state where the cycle of death and rebirth…

INSTRUCTIONS NUMBER OF PLAYERS: 2-6 Players MATERIALS: Snakes and Ladders game board A die Buttons (1 for each player) HOW TO PLAY: To start, all players take a turn at rolling the die. Whoever rolls the highest number plays first. All players start at square marked number one. The first player rolls the die and moves along the amount of squares on the board according to the number on the die. The next player then has their turn. If a player lands on the head of a snake, the player must move down the board to the square at the bottom of the snake. If a player lands at the base of a ladder they move up to the square at the top of the ladder. If a player lands on the bottom of the snake or top of…

To get started you will need : Branch–a largish one with a base at least 2.5cm in diameter and multiple ‘forks’ is good. Seed pods/bark/dried leaves / straw–any interesting bits of nature you can find. (We made mushrooms from gumnuts and sticks!) Step 1. Find a branch. A largish one with a base stem of at least 2.5cm in diameter. Choose a branch with multiple forks. Step 2. Drill a hole in the middle of the ply base. Step 3. Saw the bottom of your branch so it has a neat flat end, and tape the bottom with masking tape so that it doesn’t split when it is screwed to the ply. Step 4. Securely screw a screw into the hole and then into the base of the tree– this is usually a two-person job! Step 5. Make your tree house bits…
