the word; however, you CAN’T use the actual word. The others in the game need to try and guess which word you’re acting/describing.

Egg and Spoon Race A Sports Day favourite! In your living room or garden, race each other and see who completes the race without dropping the egg. Don’t have any eggs? Use alternatives such as, apples, oranges, tennis balls, a rolled up pair of socks or anything you can find that will balance on the spoon.

Want to make it harder? Create an obstacle course that you must complete one at a time while balancing the ‘egg’ on the spoon. Time each other when doing the course. If someone drops the egg, add 3 seconds to their time.

Volcano Eggs Fancy trying a science experiment? You’ll need: some hard boiled eggs, food colouring, paintbrushes (or something similar), vinegar, baking soda and a cup of water and a plate or bowl.

1. Create baking soda paint using a tbsp (or so) of baking soda, couple tsps of water, and some food colouring. Mix it up and experiment until you have the consistency you want.

2. Grab a paint brush and start painting your eggs. 

3. Drop some food colouring splashes onto your eggs using a dropper.

4. Pour vinegar on top of the egg and watch the "volcanic eruption" all around your egg (picture the bubbling of a baking soda volcano, but more colourful. Every time is different based on your colourful combinations).

5. Repeat steps 2, 3, and 4 again and again until you get bored and are ready to move on to another egg.

6. Pat off the excess vinegar off lightly or just let them air dry.

Egg Wars The basic gist of an egg war is to try and crack each of your competitor’s eggs without yours breaking.

1) Decorate your eggs so they look fierce and strong.

2) You face off two at a time…3) One person holds their egg still.4) The other holds their egg above the others

and tries to tap (not smash) a crack or dent in the other person’s egg.

5) Whoever ends up with a non-cracked egg faces off with the winner of another division.  You continue until there is only one person with a perfect egg - that individual is named "the egg champion" and the losers "eat their eggs".
