About the Game
Aboriginal Health and Literacy Resource

A fun, culturally appropriate board game covering smoking, nutrition, alcohol, physical activity and much more...

• A culturally appropriate game promoting healthy living
• 10 years in the making with research from Dr Alice Tippetts (living and working in the Kimberley for 14 years)
• Input from many Aboriginal people living in the Kimberley
• Language, graphics and layout of the game have all been trialled through consultation with communities
• The game helps to show the consequences of different behaviours

How does the game work?

• SNAP into LIFE is loosely based on snakes and ladders and monopoly
• Each turn players must answer a question about health e.g. what is more healthy - ice cream, yoghurt or chocolate?
• Players answer questions throughout the game on smoking, nutrition, alcohol, physical activity, our bodies, mental health, environmental health and road safety
• Players get a chance to advance in the game when they get further education, go out bush or get a job
• Obstacles see players move back in the game where poor health may send you down a crocodile or a crisis may see you head backwards to the health centre, on the grog or even prison
