Egg on a Spoon Relay Race

Divide your group into two teams. Create a start line and an obstacle that is about 30 feet away. Each team lines up behind the start line.

Give the first relay race player a spoon and place an egg in the spoon. The egg can be plastic or a hard boiled egg. If you use a plastic egg, fill it with something a little heavy as a light egg is every hard to balance on a spoon.

Players race with the spoon and egg in hand from the start line, around the obstacle and back to the start line where they hand off their spoon and egg to the next player. If the egg is dropped, the player must begin at the start line once again.

The team that finishes first wins the relay race.
