Kids stand close to the game and toss the beanbag frogs off a mini-trampoline and onto a lily pad target. The beanbags are small enough to fit easily in the hands of small children. The game is for two or more players and appropriate for ages 3 and up.

Froggy Boogie

"Froggy Boogie" is a memory game where baby frogs try to hop around the lily pads when the parent frogs aren't watching. Players select an "eyeball" for the parent frog. If a picture of a little frog is displayed under the eyeball, the baby frog must stay in his place. If no little frog is pictured, the baby frog may hop forward. The winner is the player who successfully remembers which eyes are watching and hops around the board first. "Froggy Boogie" is for two to six players age 4 and up. It was a 2008 "Golden Geek" nominee for best children's board game.
