Hasbro GamingChutes and Ladders Board Game | 2 to 4 Players | Back to School Gifts for Kids | Preschool Classroom Games | Ages 3+ (Amazon Exclusive)

This is a fun game that we are able to play comfortably with our 4 and 6 year old. It’s a fun and simple concept that seems to hold their attention. I also love that we can subliminally work on counting as we play.The one thing I don’t love is as you travel up the board in a zig zag pattern, we all seem to eventually end up going backwards by accident since there is not a lot of definition in the rows. I know there are numbers which should eliminate the problem but I wish each alternating row was a different color as a second reminder of which direction you should be traveling.

It’s a classic. This game was around when I was a kid, and now I get to play with my preschooler. Your kid will basically only need to understand how to count the spaces, or have your help doing so, and understand the basic concept of going up the ladder or down the chute. It is a perfect first board game for kids, along with candy land! It comes with the board and 4 characters with stands, which is all you need. There won’t be a million tiny pieces floating around your living room, thank you very much.

Chutes and Ladders is a classic for a reason. My nephew just got into board games, and this was the perfect first pick. He caught on immediately, and it was hilarious watching him celebrate every ladder climb and dramatically sigh every time he hit a chute.The game is straightforward and fun, making it ideal for young kids just starting out. It’s also surprisingly entertaining for adults—it definitely kept us all engaged. My nephew keeps pulling it off the shelf for another round, so I’d say it’s a winner. Great for introducing kids to board games without overcomplicating things.

Chutes and Ladders has been around forever and my kids have spent hours playing it. It's easy to understand and keeps their attention, game pieces are easy to move, fun for the whole family.

This is a really fun game! Beware that it’s also never ending lol but fun. Our 5 year old has a lot of fun with it and seeing where all the chutes and ladders go.

I bought this game for my 3.5 year old son and think it's a great game for his age. Because it was the first time I've played this game myself, I cannot compare it to any older versions of the board game. However, I found this game to be a great choice for my son for the following reasons:(1) Simple enough for my 3.5 year old to comprehend after just a brief explanation and our first game. The objective of the game is to be the first to reach square #100, using a spinner numbered 1 through 6, which advances you on the board. He is learning his numbers, so seeing each square numbered from 1-100 allows us to count together and learn our numbers while each one of us advances on the board.(2) A fun way to learn that there are consequences for our actions. Some of the squares are "rest" spaces, which means that you land on the square and no additional action is taken. Other spaces have chutes (or slides), which sends your player down to a lower numbered square on the board; the children depicted on these squares are behaving badly (eating too many cookies, pulling a cat's tail, etc.) and are sent down the slide as a consequence of their bad behavior. There are also ladder squares, which depict children behaving well and reward them by allowing the player to climb the ladder and automatically advance several squares on the board. My child finds this part of the game quite entertaining.(3) It's a game of chance, so my child never feels badly if he's not the winner of the game. We take turns taking the lead on the board throughout each game and, because the spinner dictates which square we land on, he doesn't blame himself if he doesn't turn out the winner every time. This is also a good lesson for him to learn!The NEGATIVES - Games just aren't made the way they used to be. The spinner included with this game needs to be assembled and is cheaply made. I have to hold down the base each time my son or I spin the arrow. Also, the character "players" are constructed of cardboard and slide into a plastic stand. The characters are too large to fit in the box when assembled, so you have to assemble and disassemble the characters with each game. Note: The first time I assembled the characters, the cardboard face on one of the characters peeled back and I had to tape it to keep it together. With that said, I'm assuming that they are not going to hold up well with time.

We play this game with our granddaughter and all of us enjoy it very much! We recommend it.
