Easter Egg Cracking Party Game

You Will Need
Eggs

Rules

• Test the eggs first by knocking them against their eye tooth, and then choose the best egg to use for the game.
• The contestants must agree beforehand on how much of their eggs will be covered by their hands, as revealing a large part of the egg's shell is much more risky.
• The game begins with the contestants trying to crack the pointed ends of each other's eggs.
• The person who loses must then turn his or her egg upside down. If a player cracks both ends of someone's egg, then he/she wins the egg.

How many people have done this with either their family and/or friends on Easter Sunday? We have done this for about 15 years: it is whole lotta fun, even my 80 year old grandmother participates.

Yeah. We've always done this with my father's family. One of the best things about Easter, IMO. Always look forward to it!

I've never so much as painted Easter eggs. I sometimes watch the White House Easter Egg Hunt, but all the devilled eggs that they use (interesting name, considering the event), I've never done.

This is a big tradition with my family. When we crack eggs we say, Christos Anesti! (Christ has risen). It's very fun and the kids absolutely love it, esp when they win. The eggs are always dyed red to signify Christ dying on the cross.

It is a multiple, single elimination gane; depending on the # of eggs .
