Need for drawing a hopscotch court (5)

I believe the answer is:

chalk

(Other definitions for chalk that I've seen before include "Calcium carbonate" , "Soft white limestone (as distinct from cheese)" , "Soft white rock used for writing on boards etc" , "Substance totally different from cheese!" , "Opposite of cheese?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
