One of the gifts we gave to our friends was 'Dancing Eggs'.
I found this video that quickly explains the game.
There are two dice - one red, one white.
Roll the red die to see what you have to do to get an egg.
Roll the white die to see where you place the egg on your body.
Do NOT drop an egg!
The person with the most eggs, wins!
The family in the video were a lot nicer than the participants in our game.
It was all out war when everyone was trying to grab the bouncing egg….The big guys were pushing the little ladies out of the way while running around the table….. The boys were giving full body checks into the walls….. One glass of tea was spilled, one wine glass was shattered….
BUT WE HAD SO MUCH FUN!
Popping by to say hello! Thanks for stopping by my blog. I have a Zachary too....our youngest. Love that name! I'm envious of your garden. It's beautiful. We didn't have much luck this year, w/ veggies or flowers! http://adventuresintheballpark.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI still have bruises to prove how much fun it was! Haha!!!
ReplyDeleteHaaa! Haaa! Haaa! sounds like so much fun. It's always a good time when the men out do the little girls. :) LOL! I do you had a wonderful Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen nor heard of that game ... but it sure sounds like it would be fun!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like so much fun! My husband's family loves board games, so I may have to give this as a Christmas present next year. So cool!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like so much fun!! Hahaha, I've never seen it before. Thanks for sharing! Xoxox

Your blog is great! I love your latest post with the 12 days of baking.
ReplyDeleteMy best friend has a Zachary too. We all have good taste! Happy Holidays!
I love games that are fun like this! Makes everyone laugh & enjoy each other. & my family is competitive, adding a whole new layer! :) I've never heard of this - I'll have to check it out for family gatherings!
ReplyDeleteIf you saw a carton of eggs in a game store, one would not think it would be a game, let alone a fun game.
ReplyDeleteTo our surprise it was A LOT of fun!
We found it in a game store called "Marbles". I've never seen it in a store like Target or Walmart.
ReplyDeleteIt's very competitive, but in a good way. You may have to order it online.
ReplyDeleteThe family in the video sat around the table. We found it was better to stand. Easier to run without tripping over the chairs. And boy, did we laugh!!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like so much fun! Happy New Year to you....

ReplyDeletedon't forget the broken wine glass!
ReplyDeleteMiriam, Glückliches neues Jahr!!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you too!
ReplyDeleteBody checks into the walls...bahahaha...
ReplyDeleteI was laughing until I heard that wine was spilled. It's all fun and games until someone loses their wine...
:-)
That's when the game ended!!! LOL
ReplyDeleteWell, here I am leaving a comment. For ONE FLEETING SECOND I had a Disqus form, but I couldn't type in it 'cause it was still loading. So, I clicked it to STOP loading and reloaded it and a google form came up. So, I shut down your blog and then reclicked over here - - - still google.
ReplyDeleteNo word very though.
I want you to come to MY house to play dancing eggs.
Love your friends' name!!!!
Oh - - - and when you come, bring your dancing eggs 'cause I don't have any.
;-)
Oh my goodness! I love this! I have never heard of this game and what FUN!! Thanks for sharing......Roxie
