Ready, set, toss! Celebrate Great Egg Toss Day with a fun tournament - the most creative and accurate tosser wins bragging rights!
Get ready to celebrate Great Egg Toss Day on Sept. 6! This fun day has been around since the early 1900s and is a great way to get your family, friends, and neighbors together for some laughs and competition. The idea is simple: toss an egg back and forth between two people, with each person trying to throw it farther than the other. The winner gets bragging rights — but everyone who plays will have a blast! So break out the eggs, gather up your crew, and get ready for some serious egg-tossing action.
Gather all of the necessary supplies to have an egg toss. You will need a hard boiled egg, a partner, and something to mark the boundaries of the playing field, such as two pieces of rope or string.
Lay out your rope or string to create two equal playing fields for you and your partner. Make sure to leave enough room for you and your partner to stand at least 10 feet apart from each other.
Take turns tossing the egg back and forth between you and your partner. Try not to break the egg! The goal is to see how many successful catches you can make before breaking it.
If you are looking for more challenge, try playing variations of the game such as one handed catch, blindfolded catch, or tag team catch.
Once you are finished playing, enjoy the hard boiled egg as a snack. It is a tasty reward after all that tossing!
Egg toss is a fun, low-cost game that the entire family can participate in. It requires minimal materials, and no special skills or athletic ability - just a steady hand, good aim and a sense of humour! Plus, it's easy to set up anywhere and can last for hours of entertainment.
Egg toss provides an excellent opportunity for kids (and adults!) to work together and cooperate. Split into two teams and help each other make longer throws while avoiding obstacles in order to win the game. Cooperation and communication will be key!
Egg tossing allows everyone to get creative with their throws. Make up new rules and come up with new ways to score points - like mixing things up by using different sizes of eggs, or rewarding extra points for trick shots. Have fun and let your imagination take over!
