The population of this study was 103 fourth grade students of elementary school in Sukasada, Buleleng regency in academic year 2015/2016.

The results showed that the mean score of control group that was taught by conventional technique was 79.6 and the mean score of experimental group that was taught by snake and ladder board game was 84.1. The result of the independent sample t-test calculation showed the value of tobs (t observed) was 4.791 where the tcv (t critical value) in alpha significance 0.05 (5%) and the degree of freedom 62 was 1.998.
