Have you ever seen a frog? Can anyone tell me what it looks like. Please find the big frog on the desk and talk about it from top to bottom. What color coat is the frog wearing? What about the eyes and mouth? What color is the belly? How many legs does a frog have? (Children say, the teacher guides, and praises children who express themselves completely. Focus on explaining the changes of feet and tails, and guide children to observe.)

Activity summary
It’s amazing, the little tadpole finally turned into a little frog.
Do you know what skills frogs have? (catch flying insects)
Do you know what little frogs like to eat? (flies, mosquitoes, locusts, etc.)
Small frogs not only eat mosquitoes and flies, but also prey on a large number of agricultural pests such as moths and rice planthoppers. They eat about 50,000 pests a year. So people call it “the master of catching pests”. Frogs are of great benefit to us humans and are our good friends. How should we protect frogs? (Guide the children to speak, the teacher summarizes)
