Use the chalk as the marker or find stones, beanbags, buttons or small plastic toys. Use your imagination and draw the boxes to be jumped in in various colours and shapes. The rules are simple and kids can either draw their own course with the chalk or have a parent help. This is an oldie (as in kids have been playing it for over 300 years) but a definite goodie.
Find a safe spot in a driveway, a schoolyard, or on a sidewalk, and prepare to chalk up the fun your kids will have (sorry, I couldn’t resist). But what hasn’t changed is the myriad of ways in which chalk can be used as the basis of many active games for your children. Chalk now comes in 48 colours, in glitter, and in neon. Sidewalk chalk has come a long way from Simon’s Land of Chalk Drawings. Whether it’s used to practice letters, write messages for family and friends, draw great masterpieces, or for many other creative games, chalk is a colourful and inexpensive toy. Whatever he drew, be it a rocket ship, a zoo, a herd of dinosaurs, or a soccer game, Simon would find himself on great adventures in amongst his creations.įast forward to my own life as a parent and sidewalk chalk has become a spring and summer playtime staple for my children. When I was a kid, I was fascinated by a cartoon character named Simon who would use his imagination to climb into his Land of Chalk Drawings.
