Clashing with the Relatives at Easter Dinner

Having the relatives for Easter Dinner? It is one of the greatest joys in life to celebrate the resurrection of our Lord Jesus with family and friends. Whether you go all-out fancy or prefer simplicity, the details of your hospitality create a welcoming atmosphere that says, “It is great to be together.” These are the times that generate family traditions and memories.

Some of the favored symbols of Easter among many families are colored Easter eggs. They represent the new life we receive in Christ as we celebrate His resurrection and the power He has over sin and death.  This simple object with profound significance is the center of a fun family game we play at the end of Easter dinner.

Did you know that if you crack two hard-boiled eggs together, only one will break? This simple fact makes this the perfect game for the entire extended family because Grampa can be pitted against his three-year old granddaughter who can be pitted against her college-aged uncle!

To play, two people sitting next to each other pair up and strategically tap, smash or crack their eggs together. The one that escapes unscathed competes with another fellow survivor until there is but one remaining! It is hilarious to watch the approach, the grasp and the follow-through of various players. Plus because there does not seem to be any foolproof technique, the three-year old granddaughter might just be the winner!
