Today we're building a raft and then making a parachute for an egg.

If you can get yourselves into teams...

No, I don't think you should go with her. She's a bad influence on you.

Can one member of each team come and collect an egg from me, please? There'll be points deducted at the end of the day for any broken ones.

Well, if anybody wants me on their team I'll be there to take a back seat during the critical first decision making process, wait till your initial idea fails miserably, and then step in with a supercilious sneer and an elegantly logical foolproof scheme that I've known all along but wasn't prepared to share until everyone else had had a go and made a fool of themselves because I'm nice like that and think everyone should have a chance.

Now, which lucky team is going to get me?

Don't all rush at once now.

MrsB, you're just the sort of person we need here.

You're in charge of handing out the eggs.

Mind you don't drop...oh dear.
