Instructions
1. Invite the children to squat down and hop around like frogs.
2. Ask them how many eyes, legs, mouths, and tails are on a frog.
3. Choose five children to act out the song as the others sing. One child acts out the first verse, another child joins him for the second verse, and so on. This will help the children visualize the numbers (four eyes, eight legs, and so on).

For beginning multipliers, you may need to stop and count between verses.This Little Frog Has Two Eyes (Chinese nursery rhyme)This little frog has two eyes,Four legs,One mouth, no tail,Says "croak, croak" andPlops into the water.Two little frogs have four eyes,Eight legs,Two mouths, no tails,Say "croak, croak" andPlop into the water.Three little frogs have six eyes,Twelve legs,Three mouths, no tails,Say "croak, croak" andPlop into the water.Four little frogs have eight eyes...Five little frogs have ten eyes...
