How to Play

  • Split the kids into groups of 3 players.
  • 2 teams play each other.
  • One of the teams is trying to make 5 passes in a row without the other team (the magpies) stealing the egg (the ball).
  • Every time a team completes 5 passes they get a point and the other team has to do a forfeit (star jumps, etc).
  • If a team steals the egg they try to get 5 passes and so on.
