How to Have an Egg Toss

Invite kids to wear old clothes, or provide smocks.

Divide players into pairs, then split the entire group into two rows, with paired players facing each other.

Arrange the players in each row so that they're standing 3 or 4 feet apart.

Choose one row, and hand everyone in that row an egg.

Blow the whistle, and have the players with the eggs toss them to their partners.

Ask the receiving players to take a step back after catching the eggs. If a partner breaks the egg (whether in his or her hands or on the ground), the pair is eliminated from the game.

Blow the whistle again, indicating this time that the receiving players toss the eggs to their partners. Again, those who manage to catch the eggs without cracking them must take a step back before tossing the eggs again.

Continue the game until all pairs but one are eliminated.

Award the winning pair a prize.
