Egg Drop Game

Description:

This engaging game requires some preparation and gathering of materials. Prior to the game, purchase eggs and a variety of materials that will be used to construct supportive structures. These materials can include newspapers, rice, tape, cups, tissues, towel holders, straws, and sponges.

Instructions:

  1. Divide the participants into groups of five.
  2. Provide each group with an egg and a selection of the aforementioned materials.
  3. Each group is tasked with building a supportive structure that will prevent the egg from breaking when it falls.
  4. Test the structures by dropping them from an elevated location, such as a second floor balcony or staircase. Be sure to spread newspapers under the dropping point to catch any broken eggs and to facilitate cleanup.
