Chalk Maze

This activity is great for practicing balancing, running, and walking and lets you get creative on the pavement.

Set up

Ask your child to draw a maze using lines and squiggles on the pavement. Use multiple colours of chalk to make it more fun and add extra challenges later!

How to play
Step 1
  • Start by simply walking along the maze from a designated Start to Finish
Step 2
  • Once you and your child have each had a turn at walking, try hopping, jumping, skipping or running through the maze
Step 3
  • If you have used multiple colours of chalk, try and complete the maze using only one colour of lines
Variations
Make it easier
  • Make the maze shorter, with easy-to-follow lines
Make it harder
