How do you drop an egg from high up without it breaking?

My daughter is doing an Egg Drop Challenge in school and we need ideas.The eggs are going to be dropped from the grandstand roof. I think some people are making parachutes but I'm not sure that is very reliable.

We did that in high school. We used old newspapers to cover the eggs up until it's thick enough to not easily break. And yes, make a parachute for it. Fortunately, nothing was broken when we did it.
