Game Description:
A tag-style warm up game that allows children to practice leap frogging!
Objective:
Catch as many frogs as possible!
Game Rules:
Designate 2 or 3 'Frog Catchers.' The rest are frogs who try to avoid being caught. When tagged, the frog is frozen into a frog position. Frozen frogs can be released by another frog leap-frogging over them. Change the Frog Catchers often.
Saftey Considerations:
Ensure children are capable of safely leap frogging.
Progression (optional):
Different locomotion (jump, skip, hop, gallop).
