Take a prehistoric journey through numbers with Dinosaur Snakes & Ladders, a fun twist on the classic board game that helps children practise counting and number recognition as they race across a dinosaur-themed game board.

Players spin, count spaces, and move their dinosaur pieces along fossil paths, lava slides, and climbing tracks while working toward the Triceratops skull finish line. As children move along the board, they strengthen their understanding of number sequences, counting strategies, and direction on a game path.

Aligned with early expectations in the Ontario Mathematics curriculum, this game supports the development of foundational number skills such as counting forward, recognizing numbers, and understanding movement along a number path.

The simple rules also encourage turn-taking, patience, and following game instructions, making it an engaging way for children to practise both math and social skills through play.

Skills Developed

• Counting forward using one-to-one correspondence

• Recognizing numbers and number order

• Following a numbered path (number sequence)

• Understanding positional movement (forward, backward, up, down)

• Self-Regulation through turn-taking and following game rules

Best for: Ages 4+ • Early math learning • Family game time • Kindergarten and early primary learners
