Conversational Snakes and Ladders

3rd Jun 2026

Today, Primary 5 enjoyed a lively session of Conversational Snakes and Ladders. The game encouraged lots of discussion, with pupils sharing ideas, asking questions, and responding thoughtfully to one another. It was great to see so much confident speaking and active listening, alongside plenty of laughter and fun.

One particularly thoughtful moment came when a pupil shared their dream job and reflected on the importance of perseverance, saying that if you don’t succeed, you should never give up. This was a wonderful reminder of resilience and a positive mindset.

Overall, the activity supported communication skills while also building confidence and encouraging meaningful conversations.
