11. Easter Eggs and the Fox
Are you cunning as a fox? Or can you outrun your friend? There is only one way to find out and that is by playing this game.
Let me show you, how to play this fun game:
- A player decides to be a fox while the rest of them are eggs
- The players who are eggs decide which color they want to choose
- A running route is determined which will be used later
- The color the fox guesses, needs to step forward
- After coming forward, he needs to say the name of the color and run
- If the fox catches the egg, the player who was egg before becomes the fox
- This way the play continues
There’s no real winning here except the fact that it is one of the most enjoyable outdoor games ever played.
12. Toss the Egg
Be warned
This game requires raw eggs. Meaning it’s going to get messy.
Although it could get messy but you can always take pre-cautionary measures. Such as put up a plastic bag over the clothes of children. Because you are not going to find a more exciting game for toddlers.
Let’s get the fun started:
- Make a team of two members, preferably pair a young one with a grown up
- The two members of the team stand at a number of specific footsteps
- Team-mates start tossing the egg to one another
- After every successful catch, the team-mates move one step backward
Let’s not forget, the team to break the egg is disqualified. Similarly, the one team left wins the competition.
