I always like to include games in Operation Christmas Child shoeboxs. I like to give them something fun to play with, plus with a game they can play with others. I try to find ones with simple instructions or very common/universal like checkers. I'd seen some hopping/jumping frog games, but hadn't found a good price on them, then I found some frogs at a really good price ($4 for a gross at Kipp Brothers), but no instructions, or anything to really make it a game, so I got to work. I made printable instructions and game boards. The game boards are half paper sized so they can either be printed on card-stock (and even laminated) and laid in the bottom of even a Go Box and the frogs tucked in elsewhere. Or the boards can be folded in half in a zippered plastic bag with the frogs.
Here are the printable sheets...you should be able to print each full sized on normal paper.

This is a great idea. I have the frogs too and didn't know there was a game to go with them. Thanks for the templates!
