Instructions

1. Enlarge a picture of a frog and cut out gold crowns in proportion to the frog.
2. As in pin the Tail on the Donkey, kids are blindfolded, spun around, and try to pin the crown on top of the frog’s head. Find more fun blindfold games.

2. Play PIN THE TONGUE ON THE FROG

(A version of the ‘Crown’ idea up above)

3. HOPPING CHALLENGE

This can be played in a circle, a line, or as a “Froggie Says____” game.Give children a variety of “hopping” commands such as:

• Hop in one place.
• Hop and turn in a circle at the same time.
• Hop on left/right foot.
• Hop backward, sideways; make a square or circle.
• Hop over a line.
• Hop with a partner.
• Hop quietly to line up.

4. PLAY ‘CATCH THE FLY!’

Have children get into pairs with pairs trying to “catch flies” by tossing raisins into each other’s mouths.

5. FROG STRAW RELAY GAME

Instructions

1. Cut out two frogs from tissue paper. (Good ideas to make a couple of extra frogs)
2. Form two teams and each has a straw.
3. The kids have to pick up the tissue frog while sucking in on the straw and run to the other side of the room; they run back and the next player has to do it again.
4. The first team sitting wins.

6. FROG HOP RELAY

This game is for 6 or more players and should be played in an open area.

Instructions

1. Form two even teams.
2. The first players from each team get into a frog position, squatting with their hands on the ground.
3. While making frog sounds, they “frog hop” to the end of the playing field and back.
4. When they return, the next person on each team does the same.

7. RIBBIT, RIBBIT, JUMP! (Or “Frog, Frog, Tadpole”)

Here is a different version of “Duck, Duck, Goose”…
The player is tapped on the head when the word “jump” is said.
They must hop and try to catch the other player who must also hop around and get back to the empty spot.

8. LILY PAD LEAPFROG (Version #1)

Instructions

1. Fill a child’s wading pool with water; put in lily pads made from craft foam.
2. Toss small plastic frogs in such a way that they land on the lily pads and score points.

9. FROG JUMPING GAME (Version #2)

Instructions

1. Paint the bottom of a large cardboard box (with low sides) blue. The blue is water.
2. Put some small green paper plates on the ‘water’. These are lily pads.
3. Purchase small toy frogs and have children toss the frogs onto the ‘lily-pads’.

Optional: Put numbers on the pads and add the points up as the frogs land on the pads.

10. FEED THE FROG!

Draw flies on small balloons or water balloons and toss them into a basket or bucket representing a Frog. (You could draw and attach a large frog on the container) Beanbags or black balloons could also be used as the ‘flies’.

11. FROG HUNT

This is a fun scavenger hunt idea.

Instructions

1. Print out as many frogs (in whatever version you prefer) and hide them.
2. Have the kids search for hidden frogs around the party room or outside.

12. FLOATING FROG & PRIZE

Young kids would enjoy picking out a floating frog in a wading pool, sink, or tub. Have a prize correlated to the number placed on the bottom of the frog.

13. Buy stretchy frogs, and have a FROG FLINGING CONTEST

See who can fling their frogs the furthest. (Some can be purchased online at Oriental Trading) Write numbers on ‘sticky notes’ (5-10-15, etc.) and tape them Bulls-Eye style on a wall or door. Who can get the most points?

14. HAVE A CROAKING CONTEST!

Have kids croak and make noises the frogs would make.
Award prizes for the most realistic, musical, funniest, silliest, softest sounding, loudest, croakiest, etc.

15. Play MUSICAL TOAD STOOLS

Similar to Musical Chairs-or-MUSICAL LILLY PADS

Instead of chairs, you could use green card stock and cut out lily pads about 18″ wide.

16. PLAY SLIMY (or SQUIRMY) FROG

It’s just like hot potato using a plastic, plush toy, or rubber frog; pass him quickly because frogs are squirmy!

17. Instead of Simon Says, play ‘Froggy Says’!

Idea: CAN YOU MAKE OR PURCHASE A FROG PINATA?

18. LEAPFROG GAME

Instructions

1. If you are playing in a group with more than three players, you start by lining up in a single file.
2. The first person in the line takes a few steps forwards and then bends over to make the first frog.
3. The next person in the line then leaps the first frog, carries on for a few steps, and then bends over to make the second frog.
4. The third person in the line then has to run and leapfrogs one and two and then bends over to make the third frog.
5. This carries on until all the players have jumped.
   This can be played with one line or in Teams.

If you are playing with 2 or three children to a line–introduce a MATH component to the ‘Leap Frog’ and MEASURE HOW FAR each child jumps!

19. FROG TOSS

Instructions

1. Put a blue cloth or blue roll paper on a table.
2. Place lily pads cut out from construction paper on top of the table covering.

Suggestion: Do this outside

Instructions

1. Place butcher paper on the floor/cement and tape down.
2. Fill a nylon stocking with popcorn kernels.
3. Fill trays with paint.

Instructions

1. First, make the body of the frog by either dipping a finger in green paint, pressing it to a ‘green’ stamp pad, or drawing the body shape and coloring it in.
2. Next, following the example, draw the eyes at the top of the body. (TIP – placing the eyes first – gives the ‘artist’ more perspective in where to place the arms.)
3. Finish off with bent stick legs and feet of your choice. KA decided to add small fingerprint green feet and then outlining them. (Image by KidActivities.net)

37. FIVE LITTLE FROGS

Pin The Kiss On The Frog Printable Book

Five little speckled frogs
Sitting on a hollow log
Eating some most delicious bugs
Yum Yum…
One jumped into the pool
Where it was nice and cool…
Now there are four speckled frogs
Glub, glub…
(…and so on in descending order )

38. FIVE LITTLE TADPOLES

Five little tadpoles swimming near the shore,
The first one said, “Let’s swim some more.”
The second one said, “Let’s rest awhile.
The third one said, “Swimming makes me smile.”
The fourth one said, “My legs are growing long.”
The fifth one said, “I’m getting very strong.”
Five little tadpoles will soon be frogs,
They’ll jump from the water and sit on logs.

39. LITTLE TADPOLE
Sung to “Frere Jacques”

Little tadpole, Little tadpole
Lost his tail, lost his tail.
Now he has two feet
Now he has four feet
Look a frog! Look a frog!

40. THE FROG

A little green frog once lived in a pool
The sun was hot and the water cool,
He sat in the pool the whole day long,
And sung a dear little, queer little song,
“Juaggery do, Quaggery dee,
No one was ever so happy as me.”

Frog vs Toad: What is the difference between a frog and a toad?

Many don’t know the difference between frogs and toads. They are quite different animals, although they belong to the same animal group.

FROGS:

• Need to live near water
• Have smooth, moist skin that makes them look ‘slimy’.
• Have a narrow body
• Have higher, rounder, bulgier eyes
• Have longer hind legs
• Take long high jumps
• Have many predators

TOADS:

• Do not need to live near water to survive
• Have rough, dry, bumpy skin
• Have a wider body
• Have lower, football-shaped eyes
• Have shorter, less powerful hind legs
• Will run or take small hops rather than jump
• Do not have many predators. A toad’s skin lets out a bitter taste and smell that burns the eyes and nostrils of its predators—Much like a skunk does!
• A group of frogs is called an “army”?
• A group of toads is called a “knot”.

AND…neither frogs nor toads will give you warts! That is just a myth.

Fun Frog Facts for Kids

FROG SOUNDS… Every different species of frog makes it’s own special sound — it’s only the male frog that can croak. They have a small sac in their throats that vibrates the air as they slowly let it out.

The sounds that frogs make are not what you’d expect. Did you know that there are frogs that chirp? Others can whistle, croak, ribbit, peep, cluck, bark and grunt. (Remember this if you have the ‘Frog Croaking Contest mentioned in the above Frog Games!)

DID YOU KNOW????

• Frogs don’t drink water they absorb it through their skin.
• Frog bones form a ring when the frog is hibernating–just like trees do! Scientists can use these rings to figure out the age of a frog.

WHAT DO FROGS EAT?

• Frogs and toads are carnivores, which means that they will eat meat.
• Small to medium-sized frogs eat insects such as flies, mosquitoes, moths and dragonflies. Larger frogs will eat larger insects like grasshoppers and worms.
• Some large frogs will even eat small snakes, mice, baby turtles, and even other smaller frogs!
• Most frogs will starve before they eat a DEAD insect or animal.
• Frog’s tongues are attached to the front of their mouths rather than at the back like humans. When a frog catches an insect it throws its sticky tongue out of its mouth and wraps it around its prey. The frog’s tongue then snaps back and throws the food down its throat.

EYESIGHT…Frogs have very good eyesight. They bulge out the sides of their heads in order for the frog to see in nearly all directions.

HEARING…Frogs also have an amazing sense of hearing. You can often tell the difference between a male and female frog by the size of their eardrum, which can be seen behind their eyes. If the eardrum is smaller than the eye, the frog is a female. On males, their eardrum is the same size as the eye.

LEGS…Frogs have very powerful back legs and webbed feet that help them jump great distances, as well as, swim. Frogs even use their legs to dig or burrow, underground for hibernating. Certain frogs can jump up to 20 times their own body length in a single leap.

APPEARANCE…Every different species of frog has his or her own look. They come in many colors, patterns, and sizes.

PREDATORS…Frogs have many predators. Animal predators include birds, fish, and reptiles.

RAINFOREST…Most rainforest frogs have pads of sticky hairs on their fingers and toes, as well as, loose sticky skin on their bellies, that make them great climbers to escape their predators. Many of these frogs live in high trees for safety.

CAMOUFLAGING…Other frogs are very good at camouflaging themselves so that they blend in with their environment, making it harder for their enemies to find them. A frog can change the color of its skin depending on its surroundings.

MATING…When male frogs are ready to mate they will ‘call’ out to the female frogs. Each different species of frog has its own special sound and that is the sound that the same species of female frog will answer to. Some frogs are so loud they can be heard a mile away! After they meet, they find a suitable spot to mate and lay their eggs.

The male frog will hug the female from behind and as she lays eggs, usually in the water, the male will fertilize them. After that the eggs are on their own, to survive and become tadpoles. There are a few species of frogs that will look after their babies, but not many.
