Anyway, I ended up telling the children in my First and Second Grade Sunday School a little bit about doing good deeds which will lift us up in the end, and avoiding doing bad deeds which will drag us down.  Then we played a game of Chutes and Ladders or Slides and Ladders which I created out of construction paper.  They loved it!!!
