This is a unique game that uses brightly colored frog game pieces to challenge short-term and working memory skills with young children. The object of the game is to move your baby frog around the entire pond stopping on each of the ten lilly pads. To do this, the child rolls the two colored dice and finds the adult frog whose colors match the dice. The player must guess or remember which of the two eyes is blank to move to the next lily pad and go again. If the player guesses incorrectly and picks the eye with the frog underneath play passes to the next player. The challenge is to pay attention on each turn and correctly remember the order of the eyes for 8 different frogs since the same frogs will be rolled multiple times throughout the game. This game may be more fun for some children just because it looks different and includes high quality design pieces. Parents can use this game to talk through strategies for how to remember which frogs have which ordering, though this game offers more opportunity for lucky guesses than most memory games (50/50 chance with every roll). This can be a worthwhile, albeit more expensive, alternative for a child that needs additional practice and variety with memory skills.
