How to Play Egg Toss
- Raw eggs (1 per pair)
- Open outdoor area (e.g., lawn, park)
- Optional: Towels for cleaning up
- Optional: Bucket for egg remnants
Step-by-Step Instructions
Collect the necessary materials, including an egg for each pair of participants and locate an appropriate outdoor area.
- Use raw eggs fresh from the refrigerator to ensure they are intact.
Divide players into pairs. Each pair should stand facing each other approximately 3 feet apart to start.
- The game can accommodate any number of participants as long as they are in pairs.
Review the rules: Pairs will toss an egg back and forth, taking a step back after each successful toss. The pair that keeps their egg intact the longest wins.
- Ensure everyone understands the importance of gentle tossing to prevent the egg from breaking.
The first player in each pair gently tosses the egg to their partner. If successful, both players take one step back. If the egg breaks, the pair is out of the game.
- Encourage players to use a scooping motion for gentle tossing.
Continue tossing, increasing the distance with each successful catch until only one pair has an intact egg.
- Monitor the space to ensure safety as distances increase.
Once only one pair remains with an egg intact, declare them the winner and celebrate their victory.
- Encourage participants to dress in clothes that can get messy.
- Have towels and water nearby for easy clean-up.
- Avoid playing on hard surfaces to minimize mess and potential injury.
- Use caution when cleaning up broken egg shells to avoid cuts.
