Egg Bowling

Egged On Game
As fun to watch as it is to play, players crack plastic eggs on their heads in this roulette-style game — and hope they aren’t cracking one filled with water!

Easter Tag
This game is similar to regular tag, except to avoid being tagged, players can yell out an Easter-related word to keep whoever’s “it” at bay. To make the game more challenging, choose a theme.
