Who this list is for
This chalk obstacle course is for three to six family members playing on a dry, flat driveway, patio, or sidewalk. Keep the course far from traffic and do not use slick, wet, or uneven surfaces.
How to use this list
Walk the space before drawing. Use washable sidewalk chalk for start lines, hopping paths, and finish areas, then add plastic traffic cones, hula hoops, jump ropes, a foam balance beam, beanbags, soft foam balls, and laundry baskets as stations. Painter’s tape can mark temporary boundaries on a suitable patio surface. Give one person the scoreboard clipboard and stopwatch.
Common mistakes
Do not send children toward the street or through a driveway that may be in use. Skip running tasks near steps, drains, and wet patches. Keep cones and hoops spread out so players do not trip over the next station. Treat the scorecard as optional; the route should stay fun for different ages and skill levels.

When you are done
Collect every loose item in the storage tote, return water bottles and sun hats indoors, and erase or let washable chalk fade according to the surface. Check the play area once more for balls, tape, and markers.
