The Golden Egg
A Simple Fundraising Idea
Is always the best!

Here is another simple fundraising idea that just works. It is really easy to do. Takes up no room. Is perfect for indoors or outside and is very popular particularly with children.

All you need is a tray of sand and about 30 empty egg shells.

Place the egg shells upside down so they look whole in the sand. Under the majority place a booby prize such as a sweet. Under one place a cash prize - either a large denomination coin or a note in an old ring box or similar.

Contestants simply pay to pick an egg up to win whatever is underneath

You can do all sorts of variations on this basic game.

Its a Mug's Game! - Replace the egg shells with cheap mugs or cups purchased from a second hand shop.

Secret Treasure! - Old 35mm film canisters (ask in a camera shop) make great little containers for your secret treasure.

Crazy Carrots! - Will the carrot you pull out of the sand be just the top cut off 3cms down or the real thing. Whole carrots win a prize.

Lolly Stick Lunacy! - Will the lolly stick you choose have a painted end? Different colours win different prizes.

Hairy Hedgehog! - Pluck out the Prickle (cocktail stick) you choose. A coloured end wins a prize.

This simple fundraiser is only limited by your imagination
