The Frog Story
"As a teacher I found that every day I was faced with new and interesting challenges. But there were some things that were there everyday -- the problems of what to do with the children that I wasn't working with and the problem of motivating children and getting them to learn the information that they really needed to know. I wanted something that would do all of those things, and in addition to that, the children could do independently so that I didn't have to be right there with them. There was nothing like that and so I began creating the Frog Games for my own class."
–Mary Jo Hand, Former Teacher and Author of Frog Publications Materials |

"So simple and so powerful. You can tell a teacher developed this program because it is so kid-friendly and right on target! You know exactly what kids can do independently and what skills need to be practiced at each level."

Solves Motivational Problems!
To motivate and encourage kids, there are no frustrating go-backs or lose-a-turns when playing Frog Classroom Learning Games. Only good things happen – an extra turn. . . a shortcut! And thanks to the simple Frog courtesy rules, practicing and learning with a partner is fun. For example, sometimes a student might give an incorrect answer. When that happens, the student says, "That's ok. You'll get it right the next time." The student who gave the incorrect answer takes the card back and studies it. Their playing partner can help them. It's a cooperative learning situation. Once the student understands the answer, the card goes back into the unused stack. It will come up again before the game is over, so students want to remember what they've learned. The student doesn't move ahead when a mistake is made, but is not discouraged by having to go back either. |
