Pinterest is a wonderful thing, when you us it!! I came across this site (http://www.littlehandsbigwork.com/2010/03/fun-side-walk-games.html) that talks about making chalk games. I usually just sit there and let my kids draw with chalk or help them make hopscotch. But now I see chalk in a whole new light! Now my brain is racked with trying to come up with more ideas...
Here is what we did yesterday.
I know it is hard to see these pictures, but in this one I wrote the upper case alphabet randomly on the driveway and I told Kyla she had to start at A and jump from letter to letter all the way to Z. It was good practice for her to identify the letters. After they get better, you could time them and have races to see who can do it the fastest.
In this one I just drew lines and they had to try to walk across them without stepping off. then you could do other things on the line like bear crawl, hopping etc...
This one I drew different colored circles and told Kyla to get from one side to the other but she had to stay in the "pink" circles. Then we would switch colors.
Then I decided to do one more, with numbers. In this she had to roll a set of dice, count the dots and stand on the corresponding number.
