  2. Game

    Share Share Post
    "Frog in the middle; jump up jump up" is a very nice game. You require nine or ten children to play it. All the children join up in a ring and another goes out in the middle and be the "frog". The children also must close their eyes. The children also must sing "Frog in the middle jump up! jump up" Then the child must try and catch another person. Then it is finished.
