- Step Two: Stick the sail into the middle of your egg carton. Right into one of the cups. “Now you’ve got a real boat!”
- Step Three: Carefully float your boat in a tub or bowl of water. “Don’t worry—if you don’t have water, you can still play by guessing and testing later.”
FLOAT-OFF CHALLENGE
Can you guess how many treasures your boat can hold before it SINKS?!
- When I say go, everyone will place one treasure inside your boat and start counting, 1 treasure, 2 treasure, 3 treasure, until the boat starts tipping!
- As soon as your boat tips over or sinks, yell out, MAYDAY!
