Abstract: To provide an active learning game, game pieces are provided of sufficient size so that a child may hop from one to the other safely, with the surfaces having sufficient coefficients of friction so that the force of the child jumping onto them does not cause the child to slip nor cause the game pieces to slide and with top surfaces being marked with numbers, shapes, letters or words that are to be recognized by the child. Cards are provided having indicia on them such as numbers, images, letters, words or the like so that the child may draw a card having on it a number, letter, word or image such as that of a particular animal and be required to hop to the location having that number, image, letter or word on it.
