Can you save Fred?!?! This is a cooperative activity that has students work in pairs to save a hopeless gummy worm named Fred who has managed to capsize his boat and lose his life preserver.
Working together, students must rescue Fred, turn his boat right side up, and put on his life preserver – all without hurting Fred or dropping him into the “lake.”
This activity helps students develop teamwork, problem solving, communication, and fine motor skills.
