Board game description/strategy:
The rules are simple and easy to follow, even for kids who can't read. Players spin each turn to see how many spaces they may move around the board. Colorful illustrations of children playing around slides and ladders indicate when players should "slide down" or "climb up" the board. The kids in the board illustrations are shown either doing "good" deeds such as helping a friend or "naughty" deeds such as writing on walls. Good children climb up the ladders, while the naughty ones slide down.

Other comments about this game:
Playing Chutes and Ladders with your kids is a great way to talk about the differences between "good" and "naughty" behavior.
