Frog's Autumn Journey

An Interval Writing Activity

By Kristianna Callahan · Published November 9, 2026

Frog's Autumn Journey: two worksheets fanned out, the front one a painted autumn stream winding past orange trees with eleven stepping stones in the water, a staff on every stone, arrows between them labeled with moves like Step Up and Skip Down, a frog by a Start sign and a Finish sign at the end; behind it the same sheet in black and white line art.

Frog needs help crossing the stream! Follow the directions between each stepping stone and draw the missing notes to help Frog hop safely to the other side.

There are two versions of this worksheet:

  • Beginner: Repeats, steps, and skips
  • Intermediate: Intervals from 2nds through 5ths
  • Beginner sheet in color: stepping stones across a painted autumn stream, the first stone showing a note on a staff, the rest blank, with Step Up, Skip Up, Repeat, Step Down, and Skip Down labels between them.
    Beginner repeats, steps, and skips
  • Intermediate sheet in black and white line art: the same stream and stones as outlines, with labels like 4th Up, 3rd Up, 5th Down, and 2nd Up between the stones.
    Intermediate 2nds through 5ths, printer-friendly

Extra Ways to Use This Worksheet

  • Add a clef! Practice drawing treble and bass clefs on the stepping stones.
  • Name the notes! Once students have completed the path, challenge them to name every note using the intervals as clues.
  • Play the intervals! Play each interval at the piano as Frog hops from stone to stone.
  • Write the melody! Transfer the completed notes onto one continuous staff, then play your new melody.
  • Add a rhythm! Give each note a rhythmic value and turn Frog’s journey into a short composition.
