I'm a Little Green Frog

I'm a Little Green Frog is a poem for young children which has a cadence to it when it is read aloud. The reader should put accents on the last two words of each line. Doing this will create a rhythm.

The teacher or parent may have the students or child clap to the rhythm of the poem while saying "One and two and three, four" with three and four being the last two words of each line. Below is an example.

I'm a little green frog.

One and two and three rest,S and four.

Clap, clap, clap, clap.

I'm a Little Green Frog has been printed with a larger font than most children's books so that young eyes may focus better on the print.

Practicing the qualities of rhythm and rhyming are certainly good exercises for young children as they grow through their early years, and watching the children perform is surely delightful for adults as well.
