- 2On “Go!”, racers walk or run to the finish holding only the spoon handle.
- 3If your egg falls, stop, pick it up, and carry on from where it fell.
- 4The first racer across the finish line with their egg still on the spoon wins.
Variations
- Relay: teams pass the spoon and egg between runners without using hands.
- Hard mode: hold the spoon in your mouth.
Tips
- Use hard-boiled or plastic eggs indoors. Potatoes work too.
