Club Support: The Exciting Egg Activities

May 12, 2021

Model of an Egg, Made with Play-Doh

Pennsylvania 4-H has gathered a wealth of resources for youth to participate in 4-H at home.  Many of the activities can easily be integrated into a 4-H club that is meeting remotely.

For poultry projects, The Exciting Egg lessons are educational and fun:

Parts of an Egg for Cloverbuds

Parts of an Egg for 4th Grade & Up

Instructions for a Play-Doh Egg Model

These directions and worksheets are easy to share or print and distribute. Be sure to also visit the 4-H Exciting Egg site for additional resources, such as educational videos aimed at youth, as well as a lesson plan for adults leading these activities.

A Project of New Jersey 4-H Youth Development

New Jersey 4-H provides educational outreach programming for youth in grades K-13 (one year out of high school) through 4-H clubs, special interest programs, school enrichment, afterschool programs, and overnight camping.

Regardless of the subject matter – whether it be science, healthy living or citizenship, 4-H uses a learn-by-doing approach to help youth learn responsibility, community awareness and character development.

New Jersey 4-H Youth Development is a department of the Rutgers New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station.
