Sidewalk Chalk Obstacle Course Ideas

Hi friends! How are you doing during the Quarantine? Are you looking for ways to get the kids out of the house? My boys miss seeing their friends, so we found a fun way to entertain ourselves (and possibly the other kids in the neighborhood too!) Last week, we pulled out our trusty sidewalk chalk and designed an easy chalk obstacle course. The boys enjoyed thinking up different activities to include, so I'm sharing it here today! This would be a super fun artsy outdoor activity for kids of all ages.

How to Design an Easy Sidewalk Chalk Obstacle Course with Kids

We initially came up with this idea after seeing a chalk obstacle course in our neighborhood. (Anyone else take a looooooooot of walks?)

The boys really enjoyed trying that one out and insisted that we make their own. Here are some photos of what we included in our chalk obstacle course: 

Dragon Hop Scotch-type activity

Here's a shot of all the activities:

(The monster one in front asked kids to jump over a broken bridge to avoid the monster.)

Avoid the Poo Segment

(Both boys have serious potty humor. Oy!)

Follow the line segment

(We each grabbed a piece of chalk and got designing...)

And a Lilypad Hop with Suggested dance moves

(You have to jump from pad to pad and do the dance moves!)

And that's it! Have you ever made a chalk obstacle course before? What did you include? 

 I hope you are doing well during this Quarantine time.
