Easter Games and Activities

Egg Gathering is a popular outdoor game in Germany. A long stretch of grass or track is needed for this race. Coloured, hard-boiled eggs are placed in a line down the stretch of the grass or track. There must be a line of eggs for each racer. The lines should have equal numbers of eggs.

Each racer holds a basket and stands at the start of a line of eggs. When the word "Go!" is shouted, each racer runs down a line of eggs, picking up the eggs in the line and putting them into the basket. The winner is the first one to cross the finish line with all the eggs from his or her line collected in the basket.
