Grade:
Grades 1-3, Grades 3-5
Setup:
Circle game
Objective:
Students are all sitting on the knees in a circle. There are different movements depending on what is said. “Frog in the pond” means students put their hands down in front of them. “Frog in the bank” means students put their hands on their shoulders. “Frog in the tree” means students put their hands on their head. “Frog in space” means students stick their arms above their heads and wiggle their fingers. One student is the leader and they will call out “Frog in the pond” and do a movement — either the correct one or not. Students are supposed to follow what the leader SAYS not what they do. So a student may say “Frog in the tree,” but put their hands on the ground. Students leave the circle if they don’t do the correct movement to what is said.
