How to Play
- Split the kids into groups of 4 or 5 players.
- Each team has their own nest with a bunch of cones or bean bags in it (the eggs).
- Each team picks a Mother Bird who will tag birds from other nests trying to steal her eggs.
- When the coach says go, one player from each team tries to still an egg from any of the other nests and bring it back to theirs.
- If they get tagged they have to go back to their nest and another player goes.
- We play for a couple of minutes and then we count which nest has the most eggs.
