One of our Easter activities was the “Egg Rolling Championships” with our Year 6/7 Buddy Class.
Our task was:
- Design a ramp that will roll your boiled egg as far as possible.
- You can only use the materials provided – newspaper, cardboard, paper, cardboard cylinders, plastic rods and low melt hot glue guns.
- Each group needed to provide a design of their ramp and had 45 minutes to finish their ramp.
We held the rolling event on the court outside the Year 6/7 building – we thought a basketball was a great surface to roll eggs on!
Here are the 2012 Egg Rolling Champs – Will and his buddy. Congratulations boys on a HUGE ramp!!! A great team effort!

What do you think of our ramp designs?
There were a lot of points to consider as we made our ramps – the higher the further the egg would roll!
