Try This: Hold an Easter Egg Race

The men’s ministry of Whitton Baptist Church in Suffolk, U.K., hosted the Great Egg Race, challenging men—and their friends—to build a self-propelled vehicle to transport an egg the furthest distance possible. Teams of three to four used provided materials—drinking straws, pieces of wood, tin foil, rubber bands, etc.—to construct and then race the vehicle down a ramp. The 100-attendee church captured the competition in a YouTube video and will use it to garner excitement for another race.
