Fun With Eggs!
Do you have all of those plastic Easter eggs still hanging around your home? I always do, I want to save them for next year but I end up letting the kids play with them in their kitchen but I end up throwing them away one half at a time.
Don’t throw then away, I have games you can play with those eggs.
-How about hot potato?
-Put names of animals on a little piece of paper and place them in the eggs. Let one kid at a time pick an egg and act out the animal and have the other children guess what it is. My kids love this and they can’t read so I read it and whisper in their ear what animal it is.
-Put a egg on a spoon and have races in the backyard, the person who can keep it on the spoon through the finish line wins!
-Put a coin in one egg and have one other egg that is empty(have as many eggs as you have kids). Have your children chose an egg whoever has the coin gets to keep it and do that “thing” that day, decide where to go to lunch, bake with mom, is first in line etc.

Oh, great ideas! That could work for assigning chores too. Put each chore on a piece of paper and stick themin the eggs. Each child could grab an egg and do whatever chore they got that day/week.
