Life-Sized Chutes & Ladders

K-5

Engagement: 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Equipment: Tape/hoops + giant dice/spinner Time: 15-20 min

Move on floor board; follow chutes/ladders + optional exercise on squares. Builds counting, movement, fun board game feel.

TEKS Alignment: K.1A (locomotor), K.2C (follow directions)

Character Focus: Perseverance through ups/downs — God's path has both.

Cross-Curricular: Math (counting)
