Egg Rolling - This game is reputed to be played at the White House in the USA every year. Find a hill, pick a coloured egg, and roll them down the hill. The egg reaching the base of the hill first is the winner. Steep hills make great races, but slow climbing.
Egg Bowling - Colour some boiled eggs and leave one white. Roll the white one into the centre of a room and take turns to see who can roll their egg closest to the white egg.
Egg and Spoon Races - Eggs, spoons and an area to run are all you need for this game. Variations could include relays and obstacle courses. To even the odds for some of our less coordinated students, sometimes a discreet piece of bluetac is placed under the egg to make it stick to the spoon a bit easier. Cheating? Probably........
Knock 'ems - similar to the English game of knockems played with conckers (I believe that is what they are called anyway!), this game is played with each player choosing an egg and tapping them on a partner's egg. The first egg to crack loses and the winner goes on to challange other winners in a knock out competition until there is one egg left.
Thanks to Jill Sciascia for this next game.
WHO'S GOT THE EGG? - This game is best played with 16 or more but can be played by smaller groups. Divide the group into 2. Give each group four eggs plastic or hard boiled. (If your group is smaller, use 2 or 3 eggs.) Each group must pick four players to hide the eggs in their back pocket or wherever else on them it can be hidden. After they have hidden the eggs they line-up facing the opposing team. Alternating turns between the 2 teams, they go down the line calling out the name of the opponent that they think may have the egg. The first team to uncover their opponents four eggs wins.
