This particular day we chose [sidewalk chalk](https://www.amazon.com/Non-Toxic-Jumbo-Sidewalk-Chalk-Diameter/dp/B01LYY3F41/ref=as%5Fli%5Fss%5Ftl?ie=UTF8&qid=1484937537&sr=8-2-spons&keywords=sidewalk+chalk&psc=1&linkCode=ll1&tag=7onashoe-20&linkId=5c1cf3c1f8f45ba419d34ed83f83e6f4&language=en%5FUS) as our focus point and went with it. After a bit of discussion, we each got to work and, together, came up with five fun sidewalk chalk games.

Games we could easily play anywhere with a piece of sidewalk chalk and an open space to draw.
