Rolling Eggs
Mark on the table, or on the floor,
if preferred, with chalk, four
parallel lines, eight or ten feet long, and four or five
inches apart.
Thus there are three narrow spaces. At the end of each
space make a
circle, numbering the middle one 10, and the other two,
5. The middle
space is marked 3, and the other two, 1.
The object of the game is to have each child roll five
eggs, one at a
time, down the middle space to the circles at the ends.
If the egg
goes into the middle circle, it counts 10, but if it stops
in the
middle space, it counts only 3, and so on, counting the
number of the
place where it stops.
Tally is kept for each child, the one scoring the most
points wins the
game. |
