Whack a Frog is a traditional fairground game, where players hit a seesaw with a mallet to send a frog flying towards the lily pads. It is a tricky game that all the family can enjoy, and it suits corporate events, fun days, carnivals and festivals. Hire starts from £495, and we supply it throughout the UK, including London, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds and Glasgow.
Sending a Frog From the Seesaw to the Lily Pads
The game starts with a frog perched on one end of a seesaw. The player whacks the other end with a mallet, which sends the frog into the air. It has to land on a lily pad and avoid the 'water' below for the player to score. It looks simple, but the right amount of force takes some practice, which is why people often want another try.
A Lightweight Mallet for Children and Adults
The mallet is lightweight and easy to grip, so children can use it as well as adults. The colourful lily pads catch the eye, and the rules are simple enough to explain in seconds. That makes it a good choice when you are expecting a wide range of ages, and it often draws a small crowd of people cheering each other on.
