Cardboard Boat Race


Have teams pay to enter and build cardboard boats to race across a shallow pond.

Instructions

Give each team a certain amount of materials they can use (cardboard sheets, tape, paint, glue), and limit their time. Have the participants race, and give awards for most effort and durability. Expect most boats to capsize due to the difficulty of waterproofing cardboard. Be sure to provide adequate water safety supervision.
