-------------------

Before you begin
Use chalk or masking tape to mark out a ‘snakes and ladders’ board. Your board needs to be five squares by seven squares and each square needs to be large enough for a person to stand in. For large groups, consider creating more than one board and running several games at once.
Number each square from one (the bottom left) to 35 (the top right).
Use chalk, string, paper or anything else you can think of to make some snakes and ladders on your board. String snakes and paper ladders work well. A typical board will have five or six snakes and five or six ladders.
----------
Run the activity
1. Pick someone to be the quiz master. If everyone wants to be on the board, the person leading the activity can do this.
2. Everyone should line up at the first square (square one). Give the dice to the first player to go.
3. The first player should roll. The number they roll is the number of squares they can move. When that player has moved to their square, they should pass or slide the dice back to the start so the next player can go.
4. If any player lands on a square where there’s the bottom of a ladder, they should be asked a question from the by the quiz master.
These can be found in the 'Questions and answers' attached.
5. If they get the question right, they may move up the ladder to the square at the top of the ladder. If they get the question wrong, they should remain where they are.
6. If any player lands on a square where there’s the head of a snake, they should be asked a question from the ‘Questions and answers’ by the quiz master. If they get the question right, they should remain where they are. If they get the question wrong, they should move down the snake to the square at the bottom of the snake (the snake’s ‘tail’).
7. The first player to reach the final square wins.

Reflection
This giant game of snakes and ladders should’ve taught everyone something new about keeping their mobile phone safe. Online safety and general device housekeeping are important topics in the modern world. Did anyone find out that something they do often is risky or potentially damaging, and has anyone learned anything new to help keep them and their devices safe?
