Frogs and Toads using the Multiple Intelligences
 

Verbal/Linguistic

Students write their very own frog fact books. Read many frog books; for example, Frog and Toad are Friends by Arnold Lobel and Green Wilma by Tedd Arnold.

Logical/Mathematical

Play frog probability games. Measure and graph frog jumps. Compare and contrast frogs and toads and write down all of the findings.

 

Visual/Spatial

Observe frogs in and out of their natural habitat. Make frog masks. Watch videos about frogs, and draw many pictures of frogs. Make origami frogs.

Interpersonal

Work in small groups often.  Groups should be able to choose names for their own frog that they take care of in the classroom.  Groups should be responsible for making sure that their frog has all of the things it needs to survive.

Musical/Rhythmical

Sing a frog song for Morning Meeting:    "Five Green and Speckled Frogs"

 

 

Bodily/Kinesthetic

Play leap frog. Practice  frog jumps to get to and from areas in the school. Use sticky tongues to eat bugs (food). Hold a frog jumping contest.

 

 

Intrapersonal

Write in journals. Type out sentences starting with, "If I were a frog, I would..."

 

 

 

Naturalistic

Go outdoors to observe a frog's natural habitat.  Visit a nearby pond if possible; draw pictures of the habitat. At the end of the unit, let the frogs kept in class go to the pond.
