Lessons, Links, Printables, and Ideas to match a Unit or theme on toads/frogs for grades k-3! Updated
May 16th, 2004 Compare and Contrast Frogs and Toads! Show your students the word amphibian written on a piece of paper. Share with them that the word amphibian means two lives. Tell them frogs and toads are amphibians because they live part of their life in water as tadpoles and part of their lives on land as frogs and toads. Talk about what frogs and toads look like, how are they alike, and different. Look at pictures to compare them. Make a chart like the one below with your class!

Lily Pad Hop - cut lily pads from
green construction paper, write a numeral on each one,
have the students hop from one to the next in numerical
order.
Life Cycle Sequence - have the
students put pictures of the life cycle of a frog in
order and be able to verbalize the stages.
Stamp a frog pond picture, have
out paper with lily pads and a pond drawn on it have the
kids add frogs and toads to the pictures using rubber
stamps. Count the number of frogs in everyone's
pond.
Make some Jell-O (or pudding would
work too) for the pond (grape works good!) pour into
individual clear plastic cups, on top add some blobs of
green whip cream (food coloring added to whip cream) and
place gummy frogs on each blob (whip cream is the lily
pad) add some flower sprinkles if you have
them!
