The egg's fragility probably accounts for its popularity in games down through the centuries. Egg Hunt Hiding colored or decorated eggs around the house or garden for youngsters to find has long been an Easter morning tradition. Whenever groups gather for picnic games, an egg toss is as predictable as a sack race.
Partners line up in two rows facing each other.
Every member on one side tosses a raw egg across. After each successful catch, the players step backward, adding to the difficulty of the next catch. This is repeated until all but one egg is broken. The couple with the last unbroken egg wins. Many variations of egg rolling contests and games can be played.
