Bible Belt Balabusta provides inspiration to actively engage kids in this sometimes overlooked process:
"Why let kids dangle boiled eggs over fire? To candle-roast an egg is a quick, hands-on connection to what the seder plate egg symbolizes. It’s weird, it’s memorable and it is a kid magnet.

At home we do this with a match, but at my school Seder Step Program I used tea lights—they are stable, low—on a foil-covered plate. Students held the egg and rotated it over the stationary flame. I also offered a long-handled, spiral egg-separator or the Littles or for kids who needed more distance between fingertips and fire. The tool itself is irresistible and quite satisfying to hold.*
Signage helps set the scene and draw participants, but be sure you explain the Why of the roasted egg. The beitzah is a universal symbol of spring and birth, but also a particular symbol of the Temple: a sign of mourning for its destruction (eggs are classic shiva food), and most importantly, a stand-in for the roasted chagigah sacrifice back when Jews made pilgrimage for Pesach.
At the program, kids take their DIY roasted egg home to use for seder, but not until they’ve practiced with it."
