Game
Play Chalk Line
Each child draws 1 meter or three feet of a continuous chalk line, which can contain straight lines, curly lines, angles as they desire. (adjust distances to make the line at least 5m in length) Once the continuous line is created then, one at a time, each child moves along the line in any fashion, skipping, side shuffling, dancing, hopping, running backwards, etc. When play involves multiple children, children may be asked to repeat the movement pattern used by the preceding child.
Direction and difficulty can be provided such that movement must contain an element such only using one leg, or must include a jump or a spin, done backwards, etc.

You can award points to participants who can correctly follow the leader in the movements that they performed on the chalk line.
