New Beginnings is tonight and I came up with this idea to "mormonize" a children's game known as Chutes and Ladders. It's a morality teaching game, so it was perfect for this event. In my version it's a "shoots" as in "darn it, I messed up again" and "latters" for things latter-day saints should be doing. Therefore, "Shoots and Latters".
Anyway, seeing as there are no life-sized game board available plus the changes (and shorter game squares), I got to design my own. It took a lot longer than expected, but I think it turned out nicely. I'm keeping it to use as a FHE idea. I'm using cards (monopoly style like the "chance" pile) that correspond with the major or minor falls or climbs. That way, I can alter it to fit whatever the lesson may be.
Anyway, it was a lot of fun and I'm contemplating creating other life-sized game boards for our kids.

AWESOME! You are so good at drawing! My 'latters' and 'shoots' wouldn't have come out looking that good - you'd be ahrd pressed to figure it out without an explanation! WAY TO GO! Tell us how it goes!
The event went well and they even played the game twice!! It was a lot of fun!
