Chalk Activities
We have a couple of activities below that use chalk or sidewalk chalk to be creative while learning. If you do one of these activities, please 'snap' a quick picture and send it to us!
Wet Chalk Painting
Grades: K-6th
Lesson Plan Objectives: Development of fine motor skills and creatively expressing the child's ideas and thoughts by a new medium
Materials Needed: Colored chalk, water, drawing paper, sponge, and newspapers.

Another way is to put the drawing paper on newspapers, dampen it
with a wet sponge, and then draw.

Dinosaur Drawings
We have another sidewalk chalk activity that involes dinosaur drawings and dinosaur measurements. This can be used as a life science lesson as well. Visit our Dinosaur Drawings for more details on this activity.
Sidewalk Drawing
Grades: K-6th
Lesson Plan Objectives: Development of the creative process by doing artistic
drawings in a new way and development of fine and gross motor
skills.
Materials Needed: Sidewalk or outdoor chalk and lots of sidewalk.
Lesson Procedure: Give the children the chalk and let them draw whatever
they choose on the sidewalk. You may also consider using this in teaching some
other lesson (i.e. science).
