General

The Speech Sound Snakes & Ladders Generator is a free online tool designed for speech-language pathologists (SLPs). It lets you create ready-to-print Snakes & Ladders board games for speech sound therapy in seconds - no prep, no downloads, no login.

Use the generator to target up to three speech sounds on a single board, choose sound position (i.e. initial or final), and filter by word structure (for example, CVC+CVVC words). You can also switch between US and UK English and print boards in full colour or black & white, making it easy to adapt for different settings.

Each generated board includes clear, child-friendly picture symbols alongside a complete target-word list, supporting articulation and phonological therapy activities in clinic, school, or home practice.

This tool is ideal for clinicians looking for engaging speech sound therapy resources that save prep time while keeping sessions fun and motivating.
