BLOWING THE EGG: Two pieces of cotton or tape are stretched across the carpet. An ordinary hen's egg -- which has had the entire contents removed without cracking the shell -- is laid exactly midway between the tape lines. A girl player then makes a little paper fan out of half a sheet of notepaper and kneels down on one side of the tapes and a boy kneels down on the other. The girl then has to try to fan the egg shell across the tape on the boy's side and he has to try to blow the shell back across the tape on the girl's side. The one who first drives the egg across his partner's line three times wins the contest. Nothing must be used by the girl but the paper fan or her hand, and the boy must simply blow with his mouth.
