How to Use the 5 Little Speckled Frogs Carpet Time Song:

This fun frog song (rhyme, poem) for carpet time is one of my students’ favorites! It works great for a camping, forest, woods, animals, or back to school thematic unit. This is a great activity for teaching students to take away and to recognize numbers to 5. A black and white version is included so that students can create their own 5 little speckled frogs to sing about. I have included large class sized frogs to put on the board or into the middle of the carpet, small frogs and a small log that you could put on popsicle sticks or magnets for a whole class or center activity, and individual student cards so that they can have five frogs in front of them as you are singing the song as a class.

To Prep:

Print, cut, and laminate the frogs of your choice and instructions.

To Play:

Set frogs out in the middle of the carpet or place them on a whiteboard with magnets attached.

Five little speckled frogs Sat on a speckled log

Eating some most delicious bugs YUM! YUM!

One jumped into the pool Where it was nice and cool.

Now there were four green speckled frogs.

GLUB! GLUB!

Continue until all the frogs are gone. I ask students to hold up the number of fingers that matches how many frogs we have after each round. You can also write it on the whiteboard if you are using the frogs on magnets!

I hope you enjoy!!
