"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.

Table rows with a green background denote recordings starting with one of the recommended tunes and the usual number of repetitions for the dance (5). A yellow background means a recording with one of the recommended tunes but a non-standard number of repetitions. Recordings with a red background use a different tune and possibly a non-standard number of repetitions.

Recordings whose titles are in italics are not explicitly linked to this dance but have been identified by the database based on the type, bar count, and recommended tune(s) of the dance.
