6 frogs on a log

Equipment: 7 chairs/pieces of newspaper/cushions
Stolen from: Mick Blaylock

Choose 3 players to be red frogs and 3 players to be blue frogs and decorate them accordingly, if you so wish.

The 3 blue frogs stand on the chairs on the left side and the red frogs stand on the chairs on the right, facing each other. Tell a perky story about how both the frog families try to cross the river at the same time, balancing precariously on a log, and then explain the rules.

Frogs can only move one space forward at a time, unless they're leapfrogging another player onto an empty chair. (Not literally, unless you happen to lead a youth group of Olympic gymnasts.) Frogs cannot move backwards, and can only leapfrog players that are facing towards them. The aim of the game is to get all the frog familes on opposite sides of the log.

Is quite good as a team building game or an up front game.
