Materials: Wagons, sleds, cardboard sheets with ropes making long balls, or tricycles that will carry passengers, blocks

To Extend: Increase the weight being transported, or suggest that the children try the cardboard and rope combination. Because of friction, this task is much more difficult but it will work.
