"The secret of good teaching is to regard the child's intelligence as a fertile field in which seeds may be sown, to grow under the heat of flaming imagination."

Workshop Wednesday

Jump Froggie Jump
(Small Group)
Materials: blue butcher paper; colored frogs (bean bag or plastic); and dice or spinner with colors
Directions: Make a game board out of blue butcher paper.  Make a square grid on the paper.  Mark one end Start and the other Finish line.  Place a set of colored frogs on the start line along with a colored dice (made from a mailing box 6 X 6).  Have children take turns rolling the dice.  As each child rolls the dice they identify that color and then find the frog that matches that color and moves the frog one square ahead.  See if they can predict which frog will win. 
Extension: Add a number dice. Children roll both the color and number. Add paper and make a chart illustrating the children's predictions.
