Kleine Froschmusik

YELLOW, BLUE, RED – WE CROAK MIDDLE, LOW, HIGH

 

For the Little Frog Music we use concert tiles, frog tiles and water lily tiles. Each of the frog tiles shows a frog, either squatting down or standing upright and holding his arms out horizontally or standing and stretching his arms upward – these postures correspond to low, middle or high croaks. The water lily tiles each show a water lily leaf, and the concert tiles each show three frogs which represent a short melody made up of the croaks corresponding to the frogs. At the start of the game the concert tiles are stacked, the frog tiles are spread face-down and one is placed on each of the water lily tiles, also face-down.

In your turn you roll the die: For white you switch two frog tiles, for green you turn up a frog tile on a water lily tile, and for yellow, blue or red you try to turn up a frog of this color. If you manage correctly, you have another roll. If you can turn up three frogs your turn ends. All players imitate the frog postures and croak their melody. Then you can take a concert tile. If you collect three concert tiles you win the game and all players together croak the melody from all three concert tiles.

In the master version the concert tiles are stacked face-down, one is turned up and in your turn you turn up three frog tiles. If they show the frogs from the concert tile, you get the concert card.

This games makes you hum, croak or sing happily, with instrument or without, a bit of gymnastics, too – and along the way you train recognizing sounds, to differentiate and imitate them, train your memory and your body. What a wonderful game, also for use in nursery schools.
