Frog Activities
| Lily Pad Hop - cut lily pads from green construction paper, write a numeral on each one, have the students hop from one to the next in numerical order |
| Life Cycle Sequence - have the students put pictures of the life cycle of a frog in order and be able to verbalize the stages |
| Frog vs. Toad - explain the difference between frogs and toads (toads are rougher and have bumps on their skin), have a box or bag with things that would feel like a frog (leather) and things that would feel like a toad (dried glue dots); the students should reach in, describe what they feel, and tell if it is like a frog or a toad |
| How far can I jump? - frogs can jump a distance of 10 times their body length. Have several frog models available for students to measure the distance jumped by each |
