"Snakes and Ladders" is a children's board game "for wet weather". One climbs up the ladders and slides down the snakes, eventually making it -- in this case to the bottom of the set. Bars 1-8 represent the board, 9- 16 the dice box and counters, and 17-32 the ladders (crossing) and snakes (circles). This dance is dedicated to the Brookline class of the Boston Branch, RSCDS, and was first published in the Tartan Times for May 1978.
