Two Jumping Frogs

Heckerty’s 12 Days of Christmas Day 2 

“On the 2nd day of Christmas, Zanzibar gave me: 

Two jumping frogs!

And a sardine prepared for my tea.”

Play this fun jumping frog game. It’s easy and fun for ages 3 and up.

What you need:

  • 1 green sock (or use any color you have on hand)
  • 5 pieces of green construction paper
  • 1 cup of dried beans (or something similar – I used quinoa!)
  • 2 googly eyes
  • Rubber band

Directions:

  • Fill sock with beans
  • Tie with rubber band to keep closed
  • Glue googly eyes on sock
  • Cut out 5 lily pad shapes and write a number on each one from 1 to 5
  • Place lily pads on the floor
  • Take turns throwing the “frog” onto the lily pads
  • Each person must countdown from 20 to zero by getting their frog to land on the lily pads.
  • And the exact number must be hit to win the game.
  • So if you’re down to 3 you must land on the 3 or on the 2 and then the 1 to be abe to win.
