Once the continuous line is created child moves along the line in any fashion, skipping, side shuffling, dancing, hopping, running backwards, etc. When play involves multiple children, take turns one at a time, play can include each child being 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, with a math problem, while singing, etc.

If no chalk is available, or you cannot go outside, a long rope may be used and moved to create the desired shape to follow.
