Learning Benefits
Sequential Reasoning: Think about how you want to move your frogs before you begin a challenge. You'll learn to observe problems and sequentially think through the steps to solving them before simply reacting.
Focus and Attention: The ability to quietly focus in on a problem and turn off all other surrounding distractions is a skill that takes practice. Start with one challenge a day to improve this skill!
Perseverance: Don't get frustrated if you can't solve it right away. Look at the grid from all directions and try jumping different frogs. Having patience and determination takes practice but creates great discipline.
Confidence: The success you'll feel when that last frog is standing will boost confidence and make you crave even tougher challenges!
