Frog’s First Jumps helps beginning music readers practice repeats, steps, and skips!

Have fun helping Frog jump from log to log by circling the correct answer or writing it in!

Steps, skips, and repeats are some of the first patterns young music readers learn to recognize. They help students see how notes move on the musical staff and begin making sense of the patterns they see in music.
