It is without a doubt that drawing pictures with chalk on pavements is one of the favourite activities for children! It promotes creativity, hand-eye coordination, gross motor skills, balance and interactions with others! So many benefits! And all we need is a pavement and chalk – instant canvas for our wee ones! Here are some ideas:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Shape jumps! Draw lots of different shapes on the pavement and ask somebody to shout out the names of them in no particular order – see if you can hope from one to another!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    2. Follow the line! Draw a line – long, short, straight, wavy – use your imagination! See if you can follow the line… Where does it lead to? Does it have swirls, bends? Is it longer or shorter than you?<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    3. Long jump! Draw a few parallel to each other lines (just like on the picture) and number them on the side. Then draw a start line at the very bottom. Standing on the start line, use all of your energy to jump! What number did you land on?<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    4. Pavement obstacle course! You can ask your family to help you draw lots of shapes and write different instructions. You can tip-toe on little circles, go round and round on a circle, go backwards on a line… The possibilities are endless!<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    5. Hop-Scotch! We all love a little bit of hop-scotch! Can you hop on one foot? It takes a lot of balancing!<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    You could also draw lots of beautiful pictures, too! We wonder… Does it feel different using chalk on dry pavement to drawing on wet pavement? Let’s experiment and find out!<\/p>\n

    We would love to hear from you – do you like drawing pictures using chalk? Do you know any other games? Please, let us know in the comments! \ud83d\ude42\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
