One sunny day, Zack and Lily were having fun painting their garages. They noticed that each garage looked just like its owner. Isn’t that neat? They wondered what Bob the Boat’s garage looked like, so they decided to find out!
Zack and Lily zoomed over to see Bob. When they got there, Bob told them he didn’t have a garage. He slept at the docks because he was a boat and didn’t mind the rain. But Zack and Lily thought Bob should have a garage too!
Zack and Lily had a great idea! They decided to build a garage for Bob as a surprise. They worked together, lifting windows and making it look nice. When Bob saw it, he was so happy!
They placed the garage by the water, but oh no! It sank! Bob said he wasn’t a submarine, so his garage needed to stay on top of the water. Zack and Lily thought hard about how to fix it.
Lily had a clever idea. Since Bob floats, maybe his garage should float too! They decided to use sticks because sticks float. They lined up the sticks and attached the garage to them. Would it work?
When they tried it, the garage floated away! They needed another plan. Zack and Lily looked around for answers. They noticed Lily standing on a rock and got a new idea!
Zack and Lily gathered rocks and placed them in the water. This way, the garage could sit on the rocks and not float away. Bob tried it out and loved his new garage!
Later, Bob showed Zack a cool trick called the “Water Zurby Drift.” He made waves and had lots of fun. But when Bob tried to splash Zack, he got stuck on the beach!
Zack and Lily tried to push Bob back into the water, but it didn’t work. They realized they needed to lift Bob’s front so his back could go up. With teamwork, they got Bob back in the water!
Bob wanted to make waves to jump over. Zack tried jumping into the water to make waves, but they weren’t big enough. They needed a new plan.
Zack and Lily decided to look around for more ideas. They knew answers were everywhere. Maybe next time, they would find a better way to make waves for Bob!
And that’s how Zack, Lily, and Bob learned about building, floating, and having fun together. What a great adventure!
Floating Experiment: Gather some small objects like sticks, rocks, and toy boats. Fill a basin with water and let the children test which items float and which sink. Ask them to think about why some things float and others don’t. Encourage them to try making a small floating platform using sticks, just like Zack and Lily did for Bob’s garage.
Build a Mini Garage: Provide children with building blocks or recycled materials like cardboard and plastic containers. Challenge them to build a mini garage for a toy boat. Once built, test if it can float in a basin of water. Discuss what changes they might make to improve their design, just like Zack and Lily had to adjust their plans.
Observation Walk: Take the children on a short walk around the school or their neighborhood. Ask them to observe different types of garages or shelters they see. Encourage them to think about why each garage is built the way it is and how it suits its owner, just like Bob’s floating garage. Have them share their observations and ideas on how they might design a unique garage for a different kind of vehicle or animal.
Here’s a sanitized version of the provided YouTube transcript, with unnecessary repetitions and filler words removed for clarity:

[Music]
Ah, there! I’m finished. I love garage painting day!
Hey, Jewel, I just love your garage. Do you think the garage is big enough?
I don’t want Zurbies to think I don’t love jewels.
Oh, I think they’ll see that. Great job!
Hey, Zack, did you finish your garage?
I did! What do you think?
I like it! It looks just like you.
I never noticed how much each Derby’s garage looks just like them.
That’s neat!
Hey, what does Bob the Boat’s garage look like?
Hmm, I can’t remember. Let’s go find out.
Okay!
Catch me, Lily!
Okay, you got me!
Wait for me!
This way, Lily!
Okay, over the log.
Wait, wait! Here I come!
You’ll be okay.
Oh, I’ll watch.
Okay, ready?
Okay, come on, let’s go see Bob!
This way!
Okay, I see him. I’m right behind you!
Hey, Bob!
Oh, hi, Zack! Hi, Lily! Hey, what’s going on?
Where’s your garage, Bob?
Oh, I don’t have a garage.
You don’t? Why not?
Well, I never thought I needed one. I just sleep right there at the docks at night.
But what if it rains?
Oh, I’m a boat! I’m always wet. A little rain never bothers me.
Okay, see you later!
Okay, see you later, Bob!
Hi, Bob!
I don’t know why, but it makes me feel sad that Bob doesn’t have a garage of his own.
Me too! Come on, I have a plan.
[Music]
I always thought he had a garage at the other end of the lake.
No, he doesn’t have one.
Hey, we could build him one and surprise him with it!
Oh, that’s a good idea!
Yeah, let’s do it! Ready, set, turbo!
Okay, this is good.
Okay, we’re just lifting the windows into place.
Oh, that’s okay!
Yeah, I think it’s gonna be great!
Hey, Bob!
Hi, Zurbies! What’s going on?
Hey, is that a garage for me?
Wow! We all thought you should have a garage. What do you think?
Wow, it’s great! So where do you want it?
Over here by the water.
Okay, I’ll just swing it out and lower it down.
Perfect!
Oh no, Bob! It sank!
Sadly, I’m not a submarine, so I can’t go under the water.
Bob’s garage needs to stay on top of the water.
Yes, you’re right.
It’s okay, we’ll just try again.
So what should we do differently?
Hmm… Oh, I know! Since I float, maybe my garage should float too!
Yeah, that sounds like a great idea!
So we just need to find a way to make the garage float.
How do we do that?
How about sticks? Sticks float!
Good idea, Lily! That should work!
All right, let’s go!
Yeah, let’s go!
I’ll get the garage out of the water. Just let me know when you’re back with the sticks.
Okay, so here are some sticks. We’ll line them up like this, and then there’s an open end here so Bob can get in and out.
Now all we have to do is attach the garage to the sticks.
It looks great! Do you think it will work?
Well, let’s try it and find out!
Yeah, all right!
Just lift it up and put it on the sticks.
Now to tie the sticks to the garage.
Now let’s see if it floats!
[Music]
Wow! This is great! My own garage!
I just want to say thank you to you Zurbies. I never had a garage before, and I didn’t think I needed one, but now that I have one, I’m so excited to use it!
And now every night I can come back to my garage, which will always be sitting right here.
Hey, where did it go?
It floated away over there!
I better go get it!
All right, floating the garage didn’t work. I guess we should try again, but I don’t know what to do.
Don’t worry, Zack! Answers are everywhere!
Hey, let’s go look around!
Oh, good idea, Lily! Come on!
Okay!
Hmm, that’s a log. Now I guess we sort of tried that.
Maybe something in the water? I don’t know.
Hey, Lily, you’re floating! How are you doing that?
No, I’m not! I’m on a rock!
Oh! Hey, Lily, maybe you found the answer!
Let’s get some rocks!
Okay, so what we have is all these rocks, and we’re gonna place the rocks in the water where Bob’s garage will go.
I still don’t get it, Zack. How are rocks going to work?
Rocks aren’t going to make Bob’s garage float.
Ah, but you see, we don’t need his garage to float!
We don’t?
Nope! Floating in the garage didn’t work this time. We’re gonna put rocks in the water, and the garage will sit on top of the rocks.
No, I get it! Good idea!
I’ll start placing the rocks and swing it out and put it right there.
Oh, I see! So I would fit right in here!
Hey, that’s great!
Here we go! Here comes the garage!
Wow! This is great! My very own garage sitting right here on the water!
But it’s sitting on the rocks, so it won’t blow away in the wind!
I’m gonna try it!
All right!
Hey, hey! Look! I can drive right in here!
Hey, there’s a spot to hang some pictures!
And what is… oh, that closes the door! That’s great!
This place is good!
It makes me sleepy!
I think he fell asleep.
Okay, come on! I mean, it has been a big day!
Good night, Bob!
[Music]
What a nice sunny hot day it is! It’s almost too hot!
I wonder what I should do to cool off.
Oh, I should go get my wheels in the water! That always cools me off when I dip my wheels!
Yeah, this is fine!
Oh, hey! There’s Bob!
Hi, Bob!
Oh, hey, Zack! Just out trying some new tricks!
I’ll show you one! Hold on, let me get prepared!
Okay, so what do I do again? I go straight, now I turn really hard!
Okay, okay, I think I’m ready!
Ah! This water is great!
Okay, you ready?
Okay, I’m gonna show you the trick! Here we go!
I go really fast like this, right?
Wow, that’s super cool! What do you call it?
I call it the water Zurby drift!
Well, that’s great!
Doing another one?
Okay!
Okay, here we go!
Awesome! That looks like fun! Is there a big wave when I do it?
Yeah, you almost splashed me!
Really? I think I could splash you!
Yeah, splash me!
Okay, here I go!
Here I go!
All right!
Almost!
Try again!
I’ll try doing a longer run at it! I’ll go faster!
Okay, here we go! Ready, set, turbo!
Hey, that was great!
I’ll do another one! Ready?
Okay!
Okay, here we go! It’s gonna go really fast!
All right, really fast!
Oh, I should have turned a little earlier!
Are you okay?
Wow, look at that! I came all the way up on the beach!
It’s okay, I’ll just back up!
Oh, okay!
Hey, Bob!
Okay, here we go!
Maybe I’m a little stuck, huh?
Yep, I seem to be a lot stuck!
Water Zurbies work best in the water, not on the land!
Uh, yeah, you shouldn’t be on the land!
Don’t worry, I’ll get you back where you belong!
Let me just have a look!
Okay, try backing up!
What’s happening?
Oh, I see the problem! Bob, your propeller is in the air!
Oh, what do you want to do?
Maybe I can give you a push!
Oh, okay!
Okay, I’ll push you from here!
No, that’s… I don’t think that’s gonna work!
Exactly! This way, no!
Because it’ll just go across the beach!
We’ll push you from here!
Maybe… no, that’s…
Watch! It’s the same thing, Zack!
I’m just gonna go across there!
I need to go into the water from here!
Back in the water!
How about if I push you from… oh, I know! I’ll push you from the front! That makes more sense, right?
Yeah, okay!
We’re done!
I don’t think it worked! I guess I’m not strong enough to push you by myself!
Hmm… hold on, I’ll get help!
Oh, that’s a good idea! Stay right there, Bob!
I’m not going anywhere!
Okay, I am getting some help! Who should I get?
Um, I don’t know! Maybe I’ll look over here…
Lily!
Lily!
Okay, Zack, what are you up to?
Well, Bob was showing me something, and he wound up on the beach, and we seem to be in a sticky… well, kind of a stuck situation!
Bob on the beach? I thought he was a water Derby!
He is a water Derby! Come help me! We gotta push him back into the lake!
Okay, come on! Show me where!
It’s this way!
Okay, I’m coming!
Wait a sec! Just wait for me! I’m right behind you!
Oh, whoa! Coming!
Sitting on the beach?
Yeah, see? There’s Bob right there!
Hi, Bob!
Oh, hey!
Oh, hi, Bob! What are you doing on the sand?
Oh, I was gonna do this cool move and… well…
What cool move?
Well, I go really fast so that I turn and make a wave!
Yeah, he’s gonna splash me! It was really fun, but then I forgot to turn!
Oh, that does sound like fun! But maybe we’ll get you back in the water so you can show me!
That sounds great!
I tried pushing him in, but he didn’t even budge!
Maybe if we both try again!
Sure, let’s do it!
Okay, let’s both go around the front!
Okay, let’s get… yeah!
All right, I’ll just come back over there!
Okay!
[Music]
We’re just pushing you deeper into the sand!
Yeah, we now have a big sand pile behind you!
Oh!
Well, we have to try again!
Yes, we do!
Yes, we do!
Well, what will we do differently this time?
Hmm… well, I think pushing him backward will just make a bigger pile of sand!
Yeah, it’s almost like we’re pushing you down into the sand!
Well, we don’t want to do that anymore!
Nope!
Oh, maybe that’s it! Maybe we need to lift you upwards so you don’t dig down into the sand!
Okay, I’m just gonna lift…
Lily, uh, I don’t think that’s…
No, no! I’m gonna lift and then push him backward! It’ll totally work out!
Pushing? But Zack, you’re lifting my front up, but my back is being pushed down even more!
Yeah, he’s right, Zack! You gotta put him down!
Oh, okay!
Yeah, we need to push Bob’s front down so his back lifts up!
Hmm… really?
Oh, hey!
Yeah!
So the back goes up if the front goes down!
Sounds good to me!
Hey, yeah!
Yeah!
Come on!
Look at that! I guess that makes sense!
Yeah!
Uh, so let’s see… I gotta take your front down lower!
I’ll put my wheel on your front there, Bob!
Yeah, go ahead!
Go ahead!
Oh, yeah! It looks good!
Okay, whoa!
Hey, a little more!
All right, a little more!
Okay!
[Music]
Oh, yeah! I can help you! Come on, it’s good!
[Music]
Thank you!
We did it! You’re back in the water, and you’re floating on your own again!
Okay! Way to go, guys! Thanks a lot!
Now that you’re back in the water, Bob, you can show me your new move!
Yeah!
Oh, okay! Here we go!
[Music]
I’ll do it again!
Okay, this is gonna be great!
Okay, Bob, are you ready?
Okay, Zack, you do something, and I’ll copy you!
All right!
All right, ready, set, turbo!
Okay, go in a straight line!
Go and get a straight line!
Now do a turn like this!
Bob, we are turning!
Give me something hard to do, Zack!
Okay, how about dragging a branch? Can you do this?
You mean like this?
No problem!
All right, now do a jump like this!
[Music]
Uh, jump?
Uh, jump?
I don’t have anything that looks like a jump! The water is pretty flat!
Oh, hey! You’re right!
Well, I know what we need to do! We need to build you a jump!
A jump made of water?
Uh, I don’t think you could just go and build it!
Don’t worry! If there’s one Zurby who knows all about building things, it’s Rex! He can build anything!
Hold on, I’ll go get him!
Going to catch Rex! We’re building a jump made of water!
Okay, what would you like me to build?
I thought you could build Bob a jump!
Yeah, no problem! A jump made of water?
Uh, I don’t know about that, Zack! I know lots about building things out of dirt, but I don’t think you can build something out of water! It’s too watery!
But I’ll give it a try!
Okay!
Hi, Phil! Hi, Rex! One bucket of water, please!
No problem!
I’ll get some more!
Hold on, hold on! And scoop!
And dumping!
All right!
Is that enough?
Yup! Thanks, Phil!
Okay, anytime! Bye-bye!
Goodbye!
Okay, they’re coming!
Dumping water!
Hmm… it didn’t work!
You’re right!
Well, there must be a way to build a jump out of water!
Hmm…
Hi, everyone! Don’t mind me! I’m just here to get another tank full of water!
Uh, what are you guys doing?
We’re trying to figure out how to make a jump out of water!
But water doesn’t build like dirt!
A jump out of water? You mean like waves?
Waves! Hey, he’s right!
Waves are like jumps made of water!
Walter, you’re a genius!
Well, I’m happy to help! I’ll see you later!
So let’s make waves!
Sometimes there are waves when it’s windy, so all we need is to create some wind!
No problem! I’m your Derby goes on! Watch this!
Ready for the waves?
All ready!
Okay, ready, set, turbo!
I’m gonna make the biggest wave!
Siri can go faster!
Hold on, Zack!
Uh, I don’t think it’s working, Zack!
Yes, I got me! I gotta go faster!
I can’t make enough wind to make waves!
It’s not gonna work!
We’ll just have to try again, I guess!
Oh, what if I go in the water like this?
That one’s a little better!
Uh, still not very big waves, though!
Nope!
Yes, but it gives me an idea!
Rex, can you build a jump right here?
I’m gonna go get my life jacket on!
A jump out of dirt? I can do that!
No problem!
Building a ramp!
Building a ramp next to the water? It might get damp!
Are you sure you want to jump facing this way, Zack? You’ll end up jumping in the water!
That’s the idea, Rex! When I jump in the water, maybe it’ll make waves!
Then Bob can jump over!
Right?
Right!
Okay, I’m wearing my life jacket! I got my swimming buddies watching!
Time to get wet!
All set, Zack!
Ready, set, turbo!
Go, Zack!
[Music]
Hey, it worked! There’s a wave coming your way!
Okay, I’m ready! I’m ready! Did it work?
Uh-oh! They’re not very big!
Oh, I thought that would work! Still, it was a great jump!
Did you see?
I saw it! It was great!
Um, I’m just not very fast in the water! Can you give me a push, Bob?
Yeah, sure! No problem!
You’re almost to shore, Zack!
Just… yeah, he’s got another push over there!
All I can do is tire paddles!
I gotcha! Thank you!
Thank you!
[Music]
That was difficult! I wonder if there’s a way we can make waves without me having to jump in the water and get cold!
You don’t want to try again?
I think we should, but maybe we should try something different!
Let’s look around! Answers are everywhere!
Maybe there’s a better way to make waves!
Come on!
Okay!
