Balance an Egg

 

It is said that if you are able to balance a raw egg on its end exactly at noon on the 5th day of the 5th month, the rest of the year will be lucky! This is a fun Dragon Boat Festival tradition practiced in parts of China and Taiwan. We invite you to join the challenge! Too hard? Use the included tool to help!



instructions

Follow these steps exactly at noon during the Dragon Boat Festival to try your hand at balancing an egg!

 

1 Place the egg balance tool on the table, then place the egg on the hole.

2 Notice how the egg stands.

3 Now try to balance the egg without the tool. Challenge a friend to see who can balance the egg first!
