And if you only used select colors on your board, make sure to only include those corresponding cards. Make sure you have only the special cards that correspond to the special tiles you included on your driveway board. I only added two of them to our original driveway board.Īfter your initial board is set up take about half of the deck of game cards to use. Players move directly to this tile when they draw one of these cards even if it sets them back on the board. In addition to the color tiles, Candy Land has some special tiles on the board- a peanut, an ice cream cone, a mint candy, and a lollipop- and the corresponding game cards. Also the bigger the chalk the easier to handle with adult hands. Warning- you will go through a lot of chalk quickly when you do this! I recommend Crayola sidewalk chalk, the pieces of chalk are big so they will last longer. Just be sure to pull those corresponding color cards out from the deck, more on this in a moment. For your Candy Land driveway board you could eliminate a color or two from the board. The color of the tile is the main focus of Candy Land so you will need a big piece of chalk corresponding to each color.
For Candy Land the tiles are 6 different colors- red, green, blue, purple, orange, and yellow. Plan out the board a bit before grabbing the chalk, then outline the tiles as a square and then have your kids help you fill them in as you continue to outline the tiles further on. Start with a small game, maybe 20 tiles to play on.
You should leave room at the start line because the ending of the game will be set once you draw the finish, in Candy Land this is King Candy's Castle. Leave enough room at the beginning of your game board to add on more game tiles in case you want to make the game more complicated after you have played a few initial rounds.

This process takes a little trial and error. Make sure you leave room for additions to the start. After a few rounds, we added six more tiles to the start of the game to make it longer.
