FHE with young kids #11 -- CTR Chutes and Ladders

Our 3 year old son loves the Chutes and Ladders game he got for Christmas. I found a CTR chutes and ladders game at this blog.

To start the lesson, I drew the letters CTR on the iPad. My son surprised me by already knowing it meant "Choose The Right". Then, I let him write CTR on the board.

The top left was scribble by our 2 year old, top right is a "C", bottom left is "T", bottom right is "R".

Then we talked about what it means to choose the right, and I showed them various pictures I prepared from Google and discussed if it was a right or wrong choice

• Boys sharing toys (right choice)
• A boy screaming (wrong choice)
• A boy playing in the pool by himself (wrong choice)
• A boy smiling (right choice)
• Boys fighting (wrong choice)
• Boy cleaning up (right choice)

Then we played the CTR chutes and ladders game, which was a hit. They really had a good time and will probably play it again for fun. Their favorite parts were when Mommy or Daddy or Grandma landed on a "wrong choice" spot. Our 2 year old loved that. 

The fact that he was excited about us making a wrong choice meant he understands what it means!
