Do you need to entertain the kids but don’t necessarily have the budget to bring them to the beach or the amusement park? All you need is a few pieces of chalk, a little bit of imagination and you’ll be able to entertain them for hours all summer long. Like many other things, chalk is not hard to use. Here are a few game ideas to try with chalk.

2. Draw a game of tic-tac-toe
You can also try one of these two versions:
- The classic where you draw xs and os at the desired place.
- The version where you have to throw an object and trace a symbol in the cell where the object fell.
The person that is able to align three similar symbols wins.
