Sidewalk Chalk: Outdoor Fun and Games

All you need is some chalk to enjoy these games & activities & have loads of fun. Write words, draw pictures, go on safari. If you don't already have some chalk, see how to create your own. Even give your handmade chalk sticks to friends. Surprise your friends with a birthday message. Write a poem on the sidewalk for everyone to enjoy or record a personal time line of your friends' & neighbors' important life events. Outline your body on the ground & dress itÓ in weird outfits. Instead of Xs & Os on a Tic-Tac-Toe board, use other symbols -- hearts & stars, letters & numbers. Work through mazes. Rollerblade or scooter along a colorful path. Draw a map to a secret hideout. Leave a trail of clues for a detective partner. You'll want to spend all your time outside!
