Fool the Frog

Fool the Frog - Includes a pair of frog-eyed goggles

Catch the fly in the blink of an eye. Fool the Frog includes a pair of frog glasses that will be worn by one player each round. The glasses have eyelids that open and close randomly, blocking the vision of the person wearing them when the eyelids are closed. The glasses have a wide elastic band to go around the head to hold them on. The strap is adjustable (like swimming goggles) and is big enough for an adult's head. The glasses require 1 AAA battery (not included). There is an on/off switch on the glasses and when it is turned on the eyelids will close on the glasses, blocking the wearer's vision completely. The hollow frog cups are red, blue, yellow and green. All pieces are hard plastic.

Object:

Guess where the flies are hiding and collect the most flies.

Set up:

The first time you play you will need to put the stickers on the flies (eyes and mouth) and the frog cups (eyes). One players puts on the frog goggles. The rest of the players each take one frog cup. The player on the left of the one wearing the goggles will put one fly under his fly cup. Only one fly is used per round.

Play:

The player wearing the glasses pushes the on/off switch to on and the glasses eyelids will start to open and close randomly. When the eyelids are closed, the player with the fly slides it to another player who must cover it completely with his frog cup. Players can move the fly as many times as they wish while the eyelids are closed, but must move it at least once for each time the eyes close. After the eyelids have closed three times the player with the glasses on guesses which player has the fly. If the player who guesses is correct, he gets to keep the fly and his turn is over. He passes the glasses to the player on his left and the game continues until all 10 flies have been claimed. If the player guessing is not correct, his turn is over, the person with the fly keeps it under his cup for the next game, and the next player wears the glasses to continue the game.

Try this:

• Call the color of the frog when guessing which one has the fly under it.
• Pick up the flies, one at a time, and squirrel them in the hand. How many can you hold? Put them away by the handfuls.
• Work on visual discrimination, manual dexterity, reach, socialization skills, executive functioning, process skills, play and leisure exploration and participation
