This is a photograph showing a sequence of a leapfrog activity. It consists of sixteen small frames arranged in a 4x4 grid, capturing moments in the progression of a leapfrog motion. The sequence is in black and white, illustrating stages of movement from approaching the bent figure, hands placed on the back, leaping over, and landing on the other side. The background features a lined surface.
