Family Fun Activity


Hi everyone! I hope you're all having a great day! You may be thinking why I have a picture of sidewalk chalk on this post? Well, just thought I would share a couple little fun things you can do with your kids while being active at the same time. My daughter loves to use her chalk and we have done this before and it's a lot of fun!

Here's what you need:
Sidewalk Chalk
A large driveway or parking lot
A smile and laughter

Here are the two games you can play:

The Obstacle Course
On the parking lot or your driveway, draw out an imaginative course with the sidewak chalk using obstacles such as jumping across a castle drawbridge, dodging an erupting volcano, following animal tracks, jumping from star to star, leaping over a swamp filled with alligators...whatever you and your kids would like to draw. Make it fun! :)

Target Practice
For this game you'll need your chalk and several bean bags or other small props (any small object that can be thrown safely and won't roll away). Draw different sized or shaped targets at various distances, and have your kids work on throwing the bean bags (or whatever object you use) into the targets. You can even assign points to all the targets for a fun way to keep score...and work on math at the same time. ;)

So if you're looking for a fun way to get outside with the family this weekend, bring some sidewalk chalk with and play these fun games. The kids will love it! I plan on playing these with my daughter this weekend. Have a great day everyone!  :)
