How to Play the Double Egg Relay
This game requires focus, balance, and a steady hand! While a regular egg race is fun, this version raises the challenge by adding a second egg to the mix.
Setup:
- Mark a start line and a finish line, about 20 feet apart.
- Give two eggs to each player—one to hold under their chin and another to push along the ground.
Rules:
- Players place one egg under their chin and hold it against their neck.
- They must push the second egg toward the finish line using only their feet or hands.
- The challenge? Don’t drop the egg under your chin while maneuvering the other egg!
- The first player to cross the finish line with both eggs intact wins.
- If no one finishes with both eggs unbroken, the player who reaches the finish line with at least one unbroken egg wins.
