card and place it on the grid and they must try to get 3 frogs or 3 giraffes
in a row in any direction.
The teacher retells the story using the pictures of the animals. The pupils
play the game. They are divided in 2 groups. One group frogs, another
group giraffes. Teacher plays the tambourine. When he stops, the frogs
crouch and then every giraffe needs to find a frog. The frogs ask giraffes
(teacher helps) - Whats like up there? The frogs respond: Pardon? Then
the giraffes ask the frogs Whats like down there?
Pupils play the game. When their counter step on an animal, they can hop
on another animal if they say the name of the animal. When the counter
stops on the red field they have to wait on turn.
