Paper cups to represent frogs (less slimey!)

Score pad

Start with 3 cups placed upside down in a row.

The ultimate goal is to “hop” each cup on top of another until all the cups pile into a single stack.

One frog can jump only one space. A stack of 2 frogs can jump only 2 spaces, and a stack of 3 frogs can only jump 3 spaces.

Jumps must be made in a straight line to the left or to the right —- AND jumps are never backtracked!

Frogs can only jump onto other frogs (they cannot land on empty places!

Change jumping directions.

Add more frogs…using the same logic for number of spaces that can be hopped as the number of stacked cups.

Place cups on a grid where frogs may jump along rectangular and other patterns (even hop diagonally while taking the shortest paths!

The winning frog is the first to finish stacking over all the cups….

How “toad-ally” cool is that?
