Eggs play an important part in Easter sports. The Romans celebrated the Easter
season by running races on an oval track and giving eggs as prizes. Two
traditional Easter egg games are the Easter Egg Hunt and the Easter Egg Roll.
On Easter morning the children of the house join in a search to locate the
eggs that the Easter Bunny had hidden while they where asleep. The searching
might continue though out the house with the older children helping the youngest.
Sometimes prizes of candy are awaiting the child finding the most eggs
Easter egg hunts can are also part of a community's celebration of holiday.
The eggs are hidden in public places and the children of the community are
invited to find the eggs
The rules of an Easter Egg Roll are to see who can roll an egg the greatest
distance or can make the roll without breaking it, usually down a grassy
hillside or slope
Maybe the most famous egg rolling takes place on the White House Lawn. Hundreds
of children come with baskets filled with brightly decorated eggs and roll
them down the famous lawn, hoping the President of the United States is watching
the fun. |
