The Boys and the Frogs

The girls loved learning about The Boys and the Frogs.  We talked about how you can tell if someone is sad or scared before we read the fable.
I read them the story while they sat on lily pad pillows.  Then we discussed the comprehension questions.
The girls played Leap to Safety.  They each got a game board and a plastic flip frog.  They had to flip their frogs onto each colored lily pad and collect the matching colors until they had them all.
We went outside and caught a frog and a few toads.  They felt their skin and looked at the differences in their feet.  We talked about different textures and the girls hunted for things that were either smooth or rough.  
 The girls decorated the provided numbers with eyes and the corresponding number of gem stickers.  Then we sang the Five Green Speckled Frogs and they took turns making them jumping off their log.  For some reason they thought this was extremely funny.
 I put the colored sticks from an earlier lesson in a tub of water.  We pretended these were frogs that needed rescued.  Elli picked up any that she wanted.  Addie used the spinner to rescue the correct colored frog.
