Number of players: 1 to several

The goal? To make the frog jump into the animal's mouth as quickly as possible, with as few jump attempts as possible!

Multiple players : Count how many tries you need to get the frog in, the one who does it the fastest has won!

Solo : Try to get the frog in as quickly as possible! Repeat as many times as you like!

The possibilities of having fun with folded frogs are endless. Everyone can imagine a way to adapt this game of frogs.

Supplies

  • 1 printer (if you don't have one, you can draw)
  • 1 A4 paper with the head of your choice printed
  • 1 paper of 270gr (something thicker than simple paper, but not as thick as cardboard to be cut easily)
  • 1 scissors
  • 1 pencil
  • glue
  • scotch tape (option to solidify)

Step 1: The Head

  • Download the jpg image
  • Print in color on an A4 sheet of paper

If you don't have a printer, you can draw an animal with its mouth open on an A4 sheet of paper.

  • Cut out the white outline of the head and the location of the mouth.

Step 2: Preparation of the Support Cardboard

  • Place the animal's head on the cardboard.
  • Draw the location of the mouth, a vertical rectangle under the head, and the circumference of the head.
  • Cut the bottom rectangle precisely, the mouth by cutting outside the line, the contour by cutting inside the line.

Step 3: Assembly

  • Put glue on the backing paper, at the location of the head.
  • Place the head on top, and press.

Step 4: Folding

  • Make a fold at the top of the rectangle to fold the paper.
  • Then make a second fold 4cm from the first, to reach the head.

Bonus: If the whole thing is not stable enough, you can add tape between the folded backing paper and the head to consolidate it.

Step 5: Have Fun!

Your targets are now ready, all you have to do is send your frogs there.
