You're thinking of Mancala. Here's the link to the Wikipedia page:

And I also found a version of it online, except this one uses stones, not frogs :)

You're thinking of Mancala, also known as Wari, and Owari.

It's a board game from Africa. Kind of cool.

The game you're talking about is similar to some old games--including Mancala--played over 1000 years ago. In 1962, the 3M Company created a game updating these old games. It's called Oh-Wah-Ree, and I have this game as well as all other 3M Games in my private collection. You can buy this game on eBay under the Toys and Hobbies category. I suggest using the eBay search feature to locate this game.
