Easter Egg Race
Color an even number of eggs, half the number one color,
the other
half, another. Place all the eggs of one color on the floor
in a line
at intervals of one foot. At the end of the line put a
basket. Form a
similar line, a little distance from the other, of the
remaining eggs.
For convenience, we will say one line is of green eggs,
the other of
pink.
Choose two players as leaders, who select their sides.
One side
chooses the green row, and the other, the pink. Two, one
player from
each side, play at a time.
When all is ready the two leaders stand by their respective
rows, each
is given a large spoon, and when told to "go," each
one spoons up the
eggs, one at a time, and carries them to the basket at
the end of the
line. The one who succeeds in spooning up all his eggs
first wins for
his side.
Thus each player in turn works for his side until all
have had a
chance and the side whose players were the most successful
is the
winning side.
