LIFE CYCLE OF A FROG MINI BOOK (B&W 8 PAGES)
After learning about the life cycle of a frog, children will cut out the pages of their books and put them in numerical order, placing the cover on top. Teachers/adults should staple the pages together. Students can then cut, sort, and glue the life cycle stage pictures onto the appropriate numbers. Color and enjoy!
JUMBO LIFE CYCLE OF A FROG SEQUENCING CARDS/STICKS (COLOR 6/B&W 6)
Print these cards out on cardstock (laminate for heavy use). Prompt children to place the cards in order according to stage. These cards are also a great way way to teach ordinal concepts (first, second, third, etc.) Tip: To make this activity extra fun for little hands, just glue the cards onto jumbo craft sticks and place in your science center.
NUMBER QUANTITY WITH FLIES (COLOR 10/B&W 10)
Print these cards out on cardstock (laminate for heavy use). Provide students with small, plastic insects (mini flies can be purchased on Amazon). Learners will place a numbered group of insects on its corresponding frog. Encourage younger children to use one-to-one correspondence while counting. Older children can use this activity to practice set recognition.
FROGS ‘N FLIES SPIN & ADD GAME (COLOR/B&W)
Print this activity out on cardstock (laminate for heavy use). Cut out the spinner card and attach a paperclip spinner with a round head fastener (brad). Cut out the frog and fly number cards. Provide each child with a game sheet and a stack of number cards (either frog or fly). Students will be adding numbers 1-5, so the stack should include 2 sets of 1-5 and then 6,7,8, 9 & 10, equaling 14 cards. Learners will compose a number sentence by spinning the spinner. The matching number card of the 1st spin, will be placed on the 1st gray space on the 1st line. The matching number card of the 2nd spin will be placed on the 2nd gray space on the same line. Children will add the 2 numbers together, placing the total number card on the last spot to solve the problem.
Below, students will replicate the equation using a small manipulative (build sets to match the numbers). Alternatively, the number sentence can be copied/written with a dry erase marker if laminated or placed in a sheet protector.
FROGGY ALPHABET MATCH-UP (COLOR 26/B&W 126)
Print these out on cardstock (laminate for heavy use). Cut out the frogs and lily pads, and prompt young learners to match the upper and lowercase letters.
WORKSHEETS (B&W 10)
With these 10 worksheets students will sort tadpoles, pattern and trace the names of pond items, and so much more!
