A blackboard is a smooth, flat surface, usually black or dark green, that is used for writing or drawing with chalk.

The surface of the blackboard allows the chalk to be easily erased, making it possible to reuse the board many times. Blackboards are often mounted on a wall or supported by a stand, making them easy to see from a distance.
