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.
