BiggieFrog™ Adapted Activity Guide

Written By Dan Cariaga

Introduction

BiggieFrog is a good-sized object to catch, large enough to use as a target for throwing and safe to use as an obstacle to leap or jump over. This guide is designed to help you and your students get the most from your BiggieFrog in an adapted environment.

Objectives For Use Of BiggieFrog

To catch, throw and toss; jump, leap, hop or maneuver one's self over or around another object successfully.

Activities

Shoot This
Two students stand about 10" away from each other while tossing and catching the BiggieFrog. Other students use a soft, cushy ball (see the Sportime catalog) and try to hit the BiggieFrog.

Ribbid Ribbib Ribbid
Have several students count to 3 by saying "Ribbid, Ribbid, Ribbid." On the third "Ribbid" the students use a ParaStrip™ to launch a BiggieFrog in the air. Other students use a soft, cushy ball and try to hit the BiggieFrog.

Leap Frog
Scatter several BiggieFrogs and hula hoops on the ground. Instruct students to jump (with a 2-foot take off and landing) over the BiggieFrogs and leap (with a 1-foot take off and 1-foot landing) over the hula-hoops.

Medicine Ball
Have students use the BiggieFrog the same way they might use a medicine ball to practice catching.
