Then let the good times roll by getting out and chalking the town with calendar creations that celebrate holidays--or come up with silly rebuses to catch the eye of everyone who walks by. Be a street artist, and design wild and crazy characters, or produce a maze. Youve got game with chalked hopscotch boards, tic-tac-toe, a spin on basic jacks, and "jumbo jumps." Take a sidewalk safari--itll really bring out the animal in you! Just copy a small part of your favorite beast--like a lions mane or beavers tail--and challenge your friends to figure out what it is. Whoever guesses right gets to finish the picture. And, all through theres lots of "chalk talk" where0 real kids tell their favorite "chalky" things to do!
