Explain that they\u0027ll be building a miniature raft together, using sticks, string and a plastic bag.\u0026nbsp;\u003C/li\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003EStart by taking\u003Cstrong\u003E two of the main body sticks\u003C/strong\u003E and laying them down next to each other.\u0026nbsp;\u003C/li\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003EWith a pencil, draw a diagonal line at the top of one of the sticks. This is to create one side of a \u201CV\u201D shape. This line should go down the stick by 1cm, drawing from one side of the stick to the other at an angle. Repeat this on the other stick but going the alternate way. You should be able to see a \u201CV\u201D at the top of your sticks.\u0026nbsp;\u003C/li\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003EOn the same two sticks, find the middle. Draw a circle over the two sticks, so that each stick has a semi-circle on it. The edges of the circle should only go halfway across the sticks, so you end up with a circle of about 2 to 3cm in diameter (width).\u0026nbsp;Make sure the \u201CV\u201D shape is in the correct position before drawing on the circle, this is because they need to be on the same side of the sticks.\u0026nbsp;\u003C/li\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003EWhen both shapes have been drawn, carefully cut out these shapes with a knife. The \u201CV\u201D shape should go all the way through the sticks, but the circle should only be carved out, enough to create a dip for another stick to sit in.\u0026nbsp;\u003C/li\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003EGrab a small length of string, around 20cm long, and tie the two sticks together. They should be tied together just underneath the carved-out circle, on the side where the \u201CV\u201D shape is at the end of the sticks.\u0026nbsp;\u003C/li\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003ENext, grab the remaining sticks for the main body and the two supporting sticks.\u0026nbsp;\u003C/li\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003EFlip the two carved sticks over, so the circle is facing the floor and place the\u003Cstrong\u003E remaining main body sticks\u003C/strong\u003E on either side of the sticks, three on each side. Then place \u003Cstrong\u003Eone of the supporting sticks\u003C/strong\u003E on top at one end of the raft. The supporting stick should be around two centimetres from the end of the raft, across all eight sticks.\u0026nbsp;\u003C/li\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003ECut around 1.5m of string to start the lashing.

Weave the string around the first stick and tie another clove hitch, catching the supporting stick underneath as you weave through. Repeat this along all eight sticks.

Tie the rudder stick to the ends of the supporting stick, and a couple of times in the middle of the raft.\u0026nbsp;\u003C/li\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003ECut four lengths of string, between 40 and 50cm long. Grab the \u003Cstrong\u003Emast\u003C/strong\u003E, and tie each string to the top of the mast using a clove hitch.\u0026nbsp;\u003C/li\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003EPlace the mast upright in the carved-out circle and tie each end of the string to a corner of the raft using a clove hitch. These should be tight enough so the mast can stand on its own. You may need someone to hold the mast upright, while others tie the strings.\u0026nbsp;\u003C/li\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003ENext, take your \u003Cstrong\u003Eplastic bag\u003C/strong\u003E and your two sail sticks. Cut a 20cm x 30cm rectangle out of your plastic bag. On one of the shorter sides of your rectangle, make two holes, big enough to put the \u003Cstrong\u003Esmaller of the sail sticks\u003C/strong\u003E through. This will become the bottom of your sail. Push the smaller sail stick through the holes.\u0026nbsp;\u003C/li\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003EOn the opposite end of the rectangle, punch 12 small holes around 2cm down from the edge. Wrap this part of the sail around the \u003Cstrong\u003Elarger of the sail sticks\u003C/strong\u003E, making sure the holes are still visible.\u0026nbsp;\u003C/li\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003ETake some string and tie a clove hitch on one end of the larger sail stick. Then take the end of the string and push it through the first hole. Pull the remaining string through the hole, then take the end of the string and loop it around the stick and push it through the second hole and pull the remaining string through. The string wrapped around the stick will keep the top of the sail in place. Repeat this through the remaining holes and tie the string off with a clove hitch at the end of the stick.\u0026nbsp;\u003C/li\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003ENow it\u0027s time to attach the sail to your raft. Cut two lengths of string, each about 20cm long. Tie one end of each string to the top of the mast, and the other ends to either end of the larger sail stick. Make sure the sail is centred on the mast so the raft can sail straight.\u0026nbsp;\u003C/li\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003EFinally, take your \u003Cstrong\u003Erudder\u003C/strong\u003E, and tie it to the rudder stick.
