Egghead

Egghead is a great ice-breaker game and a great warm-up variation that uniquely uses quadrupedal movement and conditioning exercises.  Players work together to safely carry the egg (a ball) across a set distance or through a series of movements without the use of their hands.  The game is low-risk and light, and leads to a lot of laughter.  All ages and all skill levels can come together to play!
