📘 How to Play Snake Game

In the Snake Game, guide your green snake to find and eat the red apple that appears randomly on the screen. As you eat apples, your snake grows longer, so you must navigate carefully without crashing into the walls or your own tail.

1. Use the arrow keys on a computer, or swipe in the direction you want the snake to go on a mobile device.
2. When the snake lands on an apple, eat it and watch as your tail gets longer.
3. Continue steering with the same focus until a new apple appears on the screen.
4. The game ends if you hit a wall or your own body, so plan your path ahead of time to avoid collisions.

👶 What to expect at ages 5-12

Children in this age group will develop skills in delaying turns and predicting gaps as the snake's speed increases. They often struggle with judging their tail's length while moving fast, leading to accidental crashes against themselves.

🏠 At home and in class

While playing together, shout out 'Left or right?' when your child's snake gets cornered. This shifts the focus from instant reflexes to discussing the strategic move needed one or two steps ahead.

💡 Tips

• As speed increases, avoid rushing blindly; take the apple and then maneuver close to a wall to create a safe buffer zone.
• Watch the gaps between your growing tail segments; calculate the shortest path to the next apple before moving.
• Instead of hugging the walls, try to stay in the center where there is more open space for wider turns.
