CHALK GAMES

HOPSCOTCH

Hopscotch is a traditional chalk game, but do you remember how to play?

Draw a hopscotch course of ten boxes, numbered from 1 to 10, alternating a single box and a double box.

Each player takes a turn tossing a stone into the first box. If the stone stays in the box without touching the sides, the player gets to jump through the hopscotch course (always hopping over the box with their stone in it).

Players must use alternating feet when hopping into the single boxes and must not touch the sides of the box.

At the end of the course, the player turns around (balancing on one foot) and hops back, picking up the stone along the way.

If the player completes the course, he or she gets to toss the stone into the second box and continue.

If a player fails to complete the course, it is the next player's turn to toss a stone and hop through the course. The winner is the first player to complete the course ten times.

TIC-TAC-THROW

Try this simple take on the classic game of X's and O's.

Draw several tic-tac-toe boards (about 2 feet by 2 feet) on level pavement. Players designate a "throw" line and take turns trying to toss a stone into a square. If the stone lands in a square without touching any of the sides, that player gets to draw an "X" or "O" in that square. If the player's stone touches one of the sides of a square, the player doesn't get to claim that square and it becomes the next player's turn. Play continues until one player has three X's or O's in a row.

To create more of a challenge or to add more fun, move the "throw" line further away from the board, or draw several game boards with progressively smaller boxes.
After each game is over, erase the markings with a rag and some water (don't touch the outlines of the boxes) and continue playing on a fresh board while it dries.

Tic-tac-toe is a simple classic, but in this driveway version, a single toss can bring about a reversal of fortune.

Mark out a 9-square tic-tac-toe grid and a toss line. Our grid was about 3 feet by 3 feet. Have each player use chalk to decorate 4 stones with his "team" colour, and a fifth stone - the "change" stone, in a different colour.

Players take turns tossing their stones, trying to get 3 in a row. If a player misses the board or lands in an occupied spot, he picks up his rock and his turn is over.
Once a game, each player can toss the change stone to try to take over an opponent's box. To be successful, he must land the stone on the targeted square. If he misses, he must pick up his stone, and his turn is over. The winner is the first player to get tic-tac-toe.
