Snail's PaceTurn a stretch of pavement into a colorful grid for a round of games.

What You Need
  • Stretch of sidewalk or driveway
  • Chalk
Instructions
  1. Draw a large spiral (shaped like a snail's shell) on the ground. Make a circle in the center and label it "Home." Divide the rest of the spiral into a dozen spaces.

  2. To start, the first player must hop on one foot, landing in each space, all the way to the Home circle, where she can land on both feet before turning and hopping back out. If she completes the feat without stepping on a line, she can write her initials in the space of her choice. No other player can land there for the rest of the game.

  3. The next person in line follows suit, skipping over the initialed space. If she succeeds, she earns a square. Play continues in this manner until no one is able to reach Home. Whoever has earned the most spaces wins
