To Play:
A Child, Family Team or an Adult will construct a protective covering for a raw egg, and then they will stand on a ladder and drop the padded eggs onto a target below. Their goal is to hit the bull's eye or outer rings without breaking the eggs, racking up as many points as they can in the process. The drop zone will be on the patio behind the clubhouse.
Cushioning the Eggs:
At the start we will empty a bag of cushioning items — egg cartons, toilet paper and paper towel tubes, precut plastic water bottles, cotton balls, pipe cleaners and scrap paper onto a table, with scissors, glue, and tape. At "Go," the kids have 30 seconds to grab an egg and supplies, and ten minutes to make a cushion using the materials they've chosen. (If you are a family team, only one person from your team may grab materials.)
Playing the game:
We start everyone on the bottom rung of the ladder and have them climb a step or two after each egg drop. If an egg lands on the target unbroken, you get the designated number of points. If it cracks, you don't get any. Un-cracked eggs move onto the next round.
We are looking for help collecting items to cushion the eggs, such as egg cartons,
toilet paper and paper towel tubes, plastic water bottles, cotton
balls, pipe cleaners, scrap paper, white glue and scotch tape.
We will have a box for collection at the clubhouse office.
