    • 3

      Blow the whistle, signaling the start of the relay. Each person with a spoon and egg must carry the egg on the spoon to and from a designated spot (to the tree and back, to the fence and back, or whatever you choose).

    • 4

      As soon as the player returns to the line, he or she passes the egg and spoon on to the next person in line.

    • 5

      Award the winning team with candy, stickers or toys.

Tips & Warnings

  • Modify the game according to age group. Give out plastic eggs to younger kids; older kids can not only transport hard-boiled eggs, but also carry the spoons in their mouths.

  • Make the game more challenging by setting up an obstacle course for the players. Or, add another twist: The kids must hop like a bunny, waddle like a duck, crawl like a turtle.... The possibilities are endless.

  • Have extra eggs available for those unforeseen accidents!

  • If a player drops the egg along the way, he or she must return to the line and begin again.
