Enhancing Vocabulary Through Snake And Ladder in the Classroom

ABSTRACT This study investigates how the Snake and Ladder game can be employed as an effective teaching tool to help second-grade pupils at Anonang Elementary School enhance their vocabulary skills. We used an experimental design with a quantitative approach, with pre- and post-tests to measure vocabulary development before and after the intervention. A total of 26 pupils took part in the study, which lasted three weeks and involved them playing Snake and Ladder. The results showed a significant development in vocabulary among the pupils following the intervention. A statistical analysis utilizing the Wilcoxon signedrank test revealed a significant difference between pre-test and post-test scores, highlighting the game's favorable impact on vocabulary acquisition.
