Eggs are a symbol of new life. Complete the ‘protect your egg’ challenge. Each person in the unit gets an egg and draws a face on, takes it home and looks after it for a week. The following week all eggs must be brought back for the challenge… Using only a newspaper, protect your egg, then drop it from the top of a step ladder to see if it survives. Alternatively make eggy bread with the returned eggs

Getting each of your girls to take an egg home and look after it for a week is a great way of teaching them about responsibility. You could even set challenges for the eggs like being photographed in the most adventurous/hottest/coldest place.
