At Easter we play an Easter Egg game. In this traditional game each person picks their egg and then the first person hits his egg against another person's egg. The winner (unbroken egg) hits his egg against another person's egg until there is only one person with an unbroken egg. That person is said to have good luck. Some tricks are to try and convince the next person to let you hit your pointy side against their bigger side, to try and hit on the side of the other person's egg as you are coming down, and on and on and on. There is no real trick that works except for painting your red egg with red nail polish. That works :). Hehehe, it is also cheating. My mom painted our red eggs with red nail polish one year and we beat all our cousins. Hahahaha. They were not really thrilled when they found out about the nail polish. Oh well, it was a really fun Easter for me and Georgie :).

Here the boys are with the egg they each picked.

Usually the game isn't played correctly because kids do not like to lose. Imagine that. So lots of eggs end up being broken by each kid. The rule is if you lose, you need to eat your egg. If you don't eat your eggs you can't play anymore.
