Who else remembers those rainy summer afternoons spent playing games indoors, or maybe it was a cozy Friday family game night? Those moments always turn into beautiful, lasting memories. Inspired by those, I thought it would be fun to keep creating special memories—this time, with a bit of learning mixed in, too. After a while, I had so many summer camp at home ideas that I decided to make a complete resource about them!

Summer Camp at Home is a six-week nature program that strikes the perfect balance between structure and whimsy. It offers you and your children a simple, nature-filled summer full of memorable experiences and activities.

Today, I want to share one of the fun games from the frog unit in Summer Camp at Home Big Kid Edition—a twist on the classic game Guess Who. Remember how much fun it was asking questions like, “Does your person wear a hat?” Well, it turns out that the game is not only fun but also a great way to build skills like communication, critical thinking, and teamwork.

So let’s dive in and extend the learning with a fantastic game of Frog Guess Who!

Summer Camp at Home Idea

This fun activity is from part five of our story about a lovely little Frog named Freddy. We learned that Freddy would spend his winter hibernating in the mud at the bottom of his pond.

This then sparked the question: Do all frogs hibernate?

To answer this, let’s explore a few different types of frogs on the cards and their habitats!

For this activity, all you will need is the free printable Frog Guess Who cards linked above and a pair of scissors. 

Then, to get started, print and cut out the colorful frog cards. 

The setup is simple: Each player receives a set of small frog cards—12 cards in total. Arrange these pretty cards in a 4×3 rectangle, face up, in front of each player. As we set them up, we enjoyed naming each frog and reading a few fun facts about them. It was interesting to see the various colors, patterns, and sizes of frogs.

Next, each player randomly selects one big card, which will now be their frog for the other opponent to guess. So keep this card secret!

Players take turns asking yes or no questions to guess which frog is on their opponent’s big card.

For example, one might ask, “Is your frog green?” If the answer is yes, the player who asked the question will flip over all cards that are not green.

You and your child will ask each other questions until someone is left with only one small card face up. If the last small card facing up matches the opponent’s big card, that player wins! 

My kiddos loved playing this game over and over; they even added an extra challenge and started asking yes or no questions about frog facts. “Does your frog hibernate?” We ended up learning a lot about all these different frogs! 

I hope your children loved this fun summer activity! It’s a game to add to your family game night lineup. You can also learn so many amazing things about different frogs around the world. You can find this and so many more summer camp at home ideas in my wonderful resource, Summer Camp at Home.
