Egg Rolling, or an Easter Egg Roll is a traditional game with Easter eggs. Different nations have different versions of the game, usually done with colored eggs.
In the United States, the Easter Egg Roll has become a much-loved annual event on the White House lawn for children and their parents. The Egg Roll itself is a race, where children run in parallel lanes, pushing an egg through the grass with a long-handled spoon. Surrounding events, such as appearances by White House personalities in Easter Bunny costumes, speeches and book-reading by Cabinet secretaries, and exhibits of artistically-decorated eggs, make the day into a bigger festival.
