|
Children line up in two lines, forming two teams. |
|
Give each child an egg. Eggs can be raw or hardboiled, depending on the children. |
 |
Give the first two children a soup spoon. |
|
Children place an egg in a spoon and run or walk quickly to the finish line, where two baskets have been placed. |
|
Each child gently places his egg in the basket, without using his hands. |
|
Children then run back to their line and give the next child in line, their spoon. |
|
The game continues until one team has all their eggs in their basket. |
|
For this game, you will need to buy plastic colored eggs or else dye hardboiled eggs in a variety of colors.
|
First, hide the eggs in your yard. |
 |
Give each child a small basket with a colored bow on top, matching one of the colors of your eggs. |
|
Have the children go on an egg hunt. |
|
Children can only take eggs that match the color of the ribbon on their basket.
