🎤 Coach Script / Story Setup

“Easter Helpers! 🐰
The Easter Bunny’s eggs are broken and need fixing!
First, you must build the egg, then wrap it carefully, and finally deliver it safely to the Easter Bonnet.
No rushing — cracked eggs don’t make it to Easter! 🥚✨”

🏗️ Game Layout

Egg Building Zone
• Two halves of round cones = egg shells
• Beanbags & soft balls = egg fillings

Wrapping Station
• Coloured scarves = wrapping foil 🧣

Delivery Zone
• Buckets / tubs = Easter bonnets 🧺

Equipment Needed
• Half round cones (egg shells)
• Beanbags & soft balls
• Coloured scarves
• Buckets / tubs
• Rackets

🔁 How to Play (Core Game)

1. Each child starts with:
   • One empty egg shell (half cone)

2. They move around and:
   • Collect beanbags or soft balls
   • Place them inside the egg shell

3. Once the egg is filled:
   • The child wraps the egg using a scarf

4. The wrapped egg is then:
   • Carried carefully to an Easter Bonnet

5. At the bonnet:
   • Place the wrapped egg straight into the tub
   • No unwrapping required

6. The child then:
   • Returns to the start
   • Collects another egg shell
   • Repeats the process

🪶 Feathers (Simplifications for Younger or Nervous Tots)

• Carry the egg shell with two hands
• Walk only
• One filling item per egg
• Wrap loosely (no tying)
• Carry by hand instead of racket
• Coach assists with wrapping if needed
• Use large, soft beanbags only

⚡ Progressions (For Older or Confident Tots)

Balance & Control
• Balance the wrapped egg on the racket
• Carry without using hands
• Add cones to walk around

Multiple Eggs
• Carry two wrapped eggs at once
• One in hand, one on racket

Colour Matching Challenge
• Introduce coloured eggs:
• Blue egg = blue fillings only
• Red egg = red fillings only
• Deliver to the matching coloured Easter Bonnet

Distraction Challenge
• Easter Bunnies (coaches):
• Gently throw soft balls or frisbees nearby
• Move around to distract
• Eggs dropped = return to start

🎾 Coaching Tips

• Cue words:
• “Slow and steady”
• “Soft hands”
• “Eyes on the egg”
• Praise:
• Control
• Care
• Focus (not speed)
• Encourage stopping and resetting if eggs wobble
