At the Camping Advisers Workshop this weekend one of the activities was Tarp Games where we made a Snakes and Ladders game out of a tarp and duct tape. I love fancy duct tape so this was a great activity for me!
First took some measuring and taping to make the squares on the game board. I would HIGHLY recommend doing this with a partner because it will be a lot easier to manipulate that much tape!
After the squares are down the fun part happened, adding the actual snakes and ladders out of duct tape! You also have to add the numbers with a permanent marker in this step. Make sure you number them in the right order and don't make a mistake like I did! Oops!
The dice supplies were some duct tape, coloured dot labels, and foam board. Thank you to the person who cut all of the tape and foam board ahead of time it made it a lot easier to make sure everything was even!
The dice were VERY frustrating to make but I am pleased with how it turned out. Fun fact- to make a proper dice the opposites sides should add up to 7!
Here is the completed project with the snakes and ladders on the tarp and the dice ready to go for a game!
Is this an idea you would use? I think it would be a good game to have at camp and if nothing else it is a tarp!
Your website is really cool and this is a great inspiring article. Thank you so much. Aluminium ladders
