Instructions
Step 1
Cut out one of the narrow sides of the lid. Paint the inside of the lid blue and lay to dry. Draw six water lily leaves on white paper and cut them out. Color three yellow, two green and one red. Lay to dry. Stick the water lily leaves onto the blue lid as shown in the picture. Flip the lid over and tape it to one magnet under each sheet. Draw on cardboard and color in the frog. When dry, cut along the contour and tape it under the belly with a paper clip.
Step 2
To make the frog jump, place it in one half on the edge of the lid. Push it against the lid with your palm. One of the magnets will attract the frog's paperclip. Take turns. Three jumps are made each turn. The goal of the game is to drive the frog once on the red, once on the yellow and once on the green leaf in one move. Different colors of the leaves give different numbers of points: yellow - 2, green - 3, red - 4. You can score no more than nine points in one move.
Step 3
If you hit the same sheets twice, then you get points only once. The rest is received by your opponent. In the example in the picture, you only get 4 (red) plus 2 (one of the yellow ones).
Step 4
If you hit the same sheets all three times, for example, green ones, you will get points only once. Your opponent gets points for the other two. As shown in the picture, you only get 3 points.
