Not many kids think of the driveway as a popular summer destination. But the combination of bright sunshine and wide-open space creates innumerable opportunities for fun and could entertain your little ones for hours on end. Looking for ideas? Here are a few games you could introduce to encourage creativity and keep them engaged. All you need is asphalt, elbow room, and some imagination.

4 Fun Driveway Games for Kids

1. Chalk Drawing

Asphalt is the ideal canvas for beginner artists. It provides plenty of space for everyone to work and allows each person to showcase their originality. All you have to do is supply them with an assortment of chalk, and they’ll spend the entire afternoon outdoors.

2. Car Wash

Help your kids cool off with this fun activity! Have each gather up several of their toy cars and trucks and line them up on the asphalt. Fill a bucket with cold water and soap and hand out soft cloths for them to work with. As they dunk and wipe down each of their toys, all the hours of play will come off and leave them looking brand-new. This game also teaches the importance of keeping belongings clean. 

3. Blow Bubbles

Kids enjoy a little competition, especially when it involves bubbles. Set up a few bottles or bowls of bubble solution in the middle of the driveway and hand each participant a wand. Take turns seeing who can blow the largest or the most bubbles in one go. Increase the challenge by tying a few long pieces of string together and making your own giant bubble wands.

4. Hopscotch

Introduce this classic game for an afternoon of fun! Draw a series of squares and numbers on the driveway, letting the children color them in. Find a small pebble and teach them how to toss it gently onto one of the squares, hopping over to it and picking it up before completing the sequence.
