Hello, The easiest way would be to buy a dry erase board but if you want a chalkboad I would just buy a piece of plywood the size you want and put it up on the wall and cover it with chalkboard paint. Here is a link to chalkboard paint at Lowes.

Forgot to tell you Lowes will cut the plywood for you.
The easiest way would probably to get some masonite or other smooth sided board, cut it to size and spray it with chalkboard paint. We've done this a couple of times. You can add a frame, if you like, to dress it up and hold the chalk, or just attach it to the wall and hang a cup nearby to hold the chalk and eraser.
You could paint chalkboard paint right on the door in the garage. Put a frame around it to dress it up.
