Get ready

  1. Make a start line and set a cone 15-20 feet away for each team.
  2. Split kids into teams of 3-6 and line them up behind the start line.

How to play

  1. The first player on each team holds the spoon with the egg on it.
  2. On "Go," walk quickly to the cone, go around it, and come back.
  3. If the egg falls, stop, put it back on the spoon, and keep going.
  4. Hand the spoon and egg to the next player in line.
  5. The first team to have everyone finish sits down to show they're done.

Tips & variations

  • Use plastic eggs indoors. Save real hard-boiled eggs for outside.
  • Older kids can try holding the spoon in their mouth.
  • Cheer for the careful kids, not just the fast ones.

πŸ“– Bible connection

Carrying the egg takes patience and steady focus. Galatians 5:22-23 lists patience and self-control as fruit the Holy Spirit grows in us.
