This is a very good game to start off with teaching your young children how to play board games.  It is a simple and fun game that lets children play even though they can't read yet.  The movement of your player piece is based on drawing cards and moving to a certain color or symbol, like a gumdrop or ice cream cone. Drawing a color moves you forward but drawing a symbol can make you advance or even go backwards.  There are even spots where you lose a turn or shortcuts you can take if you land on the right spot.
