Description of this Easter Game

• One tablespoon for each youth.

Preparation

• Boil and dye Easter eggs the night before the Easter event.

Easter Egg Game / Activity Instructions

1. Form all the youth into a single line.
2. Each youth holds his or her spoon from the handle and carefully balances an Easter egg in the spoon.
3. Youth may not use another hand or body part to balance the Easter egg.
4. The youth at the front of the line is the leader.
5. 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.
6. The rest of the youth must follow the leader's actions while continuing to balance the Easter egg on the spoon.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. Whichever youth is the leader at the end of a designated time, wins the game.
