Introduction to this Easter Game
- Can you follow all the actions of the leader without dropping your Easter Egg?
Description of this Easter Game
- Youth must follow a leader while keeping an Easter egg balanced on a spoon the entire time.
Materials
- One boiled and dyed Easter egg for each youth. (Prepare a few Easter eggs as spares in case some are dropped and mutilated beyond use.)
- One tablespoon for each youth.
Preparation
- Boil and dye Easter eggs the night before the Easter event.
Easter Egg Game / Activity Instructions
- Form all the youth into a single line.
- Each youth holds his or her spoon from the handle and carefully balances an Easter egg in the spoon.
- Youth may not use another hand or body part to balance the Easter egg.
- The youth at the front of the line is the leader.
- The leader moves into a location where everyone can see and then can move around, hop, or do any other crazy movements as long as he or she doesn’t drop the Easter egg.
- The rest of the youth must follow the leader’s actions while continuing to balance the Easter egg on the spoon.
- If one of the youth in line drops the Easter egg or is unable to perform the action she or she must go to the end of the line.
- If the Leader drops the Easter egg they also move to the end of the line and the next youth in line becomes the leader.
- Whichever youth is the leader at the end of a designated time, wins the game.
