Today’s fast urban life has taken away much of our time that we should be spending with family.  Here’s a quick, frugal idea that will put some togetherness and fun in your family life – the Egg and Wooden Spoon Race.

To play this game, you’ll need raw eggs, wooden or plastic spoons, and colored flags for marking boundaries.
How to Play:

Split your family into two teams. Draw a starting line and fix marker flags in the ground about twenty feet away, and five feet apart. Each team forms a line behind the starting line, with respect to each team’s marker.

As the whistle blows, the first player from each team runs straight, carrying the egg on the spoon and turning around the flag, returning to pass the egg onto the next teammate’s spoon (no hands allowed). If any one breaks the egg, he/she must start from the beginning with another egg. The race continues until one team completely finishes its course.

Have fun!
