Frog Life Cycle Game and Sequencing Activity for Kids

With spring here in our family that means just one thing we are on the hunt for frogs. Ever since my youngest was a toddler he has been a little obsessed with frogs. Now he’s older he’s decided that he wants to be a Zoologist when he grows up but study only Amphibians. So for this week’s Virtual Book Club for Kids Theme of Frogs I thought it would be great to look at the frog life cycle in a fun way and have got a couple of games for you to try with your toddlers and preschoolers. So here we go our first game is the Frog Life Cycle Game.

Printable Frog Life Cycle Game that can be used as a memory game, to play snap or to teach the life cycle of the frog through a simple sequencing activity. Simply download, print and play.

Frog Life Cycle Memory Game

I love simple games that have multiple purposes. This printable game can be used for sequencing the frog life cycle, talking about it, playing memory and snap.

Scissors

Laminator (Optional) – You may want to laminate the cards if using with a class or you want them to last longer

Prep Needed

Download the cards – each page has 4 of the same set of cards so you can print multiple copies especially if you choose to play snap with these.
Cut out the cards and laminate if you wish

Using the Frog Life Cycle Memory Game

Look at the cards and the different life cycles of the frog – you have 6 different stages; frogspawn (the eggs), tadpoles with no legs, tadpoles with back legs, tadpoles with front and back legs, froglet, and Adult Frog.
Lay the cards face down on a flat surface.
Turn over 2 cards. If they match you win the pair.
Continue playing until all of the cards have been paired up.
The winner is the player with the most cards.

Sequencing the Frog Life Cycle with your Memory Game Cards

As I said this game is versatile – if you wish you can use the cards to create the frog life cycle. We have used them as we raised tadpoles in previous years. They were ideal for adding to our nature table and talking about the stages of development in the tank.
