Chalk Line Kickoff

A chunky piece of blue sidewalk chalk was wedged under the chain-link fence! I grabbed it with my left hand and scraped a fat, dusty stripe straight across the dark asphalt. Scratch, squeak, snap! The chalk crumbled into a powder streak, making a genuine boundary line. I placed my little red plastic whistle right in the middle to mark the center spot. Stepping back, I threw my green foam finger up to signal play. Then I charged in and tapped the whistle across the chalk mark with my foot. Whistle slid into play territory, game is officially underway!
