1. Easter Egg Toss Game

Objective: Catch raw eggs without dropping them. Last player standing wins.

Materials: Raw eggs, egg cartons/crates to hold eggs.

Setup: Line up players in a row about 3-5 feet apart facing each other. Give each player 3 raw eggs in an egg carton or crate to start.

Gameplay: Player 1 gently tosses an egg to Player 2. Player 2 catches the egg and tosses it back. See how long you can keep the egg toss rally going without dropping any eggs! If an egg is dropped, that team is out.

Variations:

• Obstacle Egg Toss: Navigate obstacles while tossing and catching eggs. Drop or miss, and you’re out.
• Glow-in-the-Dark Egg Toss: Give each team of set of LED necklaces to wear.  Lightly spray the raw eggs in glow in the dark / neon paint.  Everyone has to toss and catch glowing eggs in the dark.
• Egg Toss Relay: Mix egg tossing with a relay race.  Drop the egg, and restart your leg of the race.

2. Raw Egg Crush Game

Setup: Have each player sit in a circle around a pile of raw eggs. Give each player 3-5 eggs.

3. Raw Egg Roulette

Objective: The goal is to avoid being the “unlucky” one who ends up with the raw egg on their head. It’s all about luck, daring, and a bit of strategy.

Setup: Boil 5 of the eggs until they’re hard-boiled, leaving 1 egg raw. Mix them up so no one knows which egg is which. Gather your players and explain the rules.

Gameplay: Players take turns choosing an egg from the batch. Crack the chosen egg on your forehead. The game continues until someone finds the raw egg. That person is out.

Variations:

• Egg Roulette with a Twist: Before the game starts, write funny dares or challenges on slips of paper If an egg doesn’t crack, the player should draw a slip a paper and complete the challenge inside – if they complete it, they get a special prize.
• Color Coded Eggs: Dye the eggs different colors. Each color can correspond to a different rule or action, adding an extra layer of strategy to the game.
• Egg Roulette Championship: Make it a tournament. Pair up players for initial rounds, with winners advancing to the next round until there’s an ultimate Egg Roulette Champion. This works great for larger groups and adds a competitive edge.

4. Egg & Spoon Race

Broken eggs don’t count!

Variations:

• Require a silly walk while transporting eggs

Safety Tips for Playing Games with Raw Easter Eggs

Easter is the one time it’s okay to put all your eggs in one basket for real.

But before you start playing with those raw Easter eggs or having a big egg-toss game, let’s make sure the only thing that’s funny is your aunt’s weird joke about what the Easter Bunny eats.

Here’s a few super careful tips to make sure your raw easter egg games are fun, happy, and safe:

• Choose Your Arena Wisely: Engage in egg-tivities in an open outdoor area or a room with tile/vinyl flooring for that oh-so-easy cleanup. Eggs and carpets have a long-standing feud, best not to mix the two. Playing on grass is your best bet.
• Dress for Mess: Wear clothes that you won’t mind getting a bit eggy. It’s all fun and games until someone has to explain egg stains to the dry cleaner.
• Keep Pets Away: Dogs and cats might think dropped eggs are an impromptu snack. Keep furry friends away to avoid emergency vet visits.
• Egg First Aid: Have a cleanup kit handy—wet wipes, paper towels, and a trash bag will make you the MVP of post-game cleanup.
• Stay Cool: Keep eggs in the fridge right up until game time. Warm eggs are like ticking time bombs of mess and bacteria.
• Avoid the Plush and Precious: Steer clear of playing on carpet or near furniture that would sob at the sight of an egg stain. It’s all fun and games until someone has to explain the abstract egg art on the living room sofa.
