Help Save FRED!

For this collaborative activity, student partners work to save a hapless gummy worm named Fred who has managed to capsize his boat (a cup) and lose his life preserver (a peach ring). Working together, students must rescue Fred, and put on his life preserver using the materials provided and without using their fingers. This activity helps helps students develop teamwork, problem solving, communication, and fine motor skills.
