Gingerbread Man Activities
In November, I totally spaced and my kids didn't finish their turkey art projects until the day before Thanksgiving, so we never got them out in the hall for display! So this month, I am starting EARLY. This week, we have been focusing on gingerbread men!
First off, we watched/listened to this version of the gingerbread man story. I liked it because it has the words on the bottom for the kids to read along, but has enough pictures/action that the kids stay engaged. The kids really seemed to like it. I created a short quiz here for FREE about the video.
Then, I found this cute gingerbread activity on starfall.com. You get to create your own gingerbread man using shapes and colors. My kids enjoyed this as well.

Next, we made our own gingerbread men. WHoo-hoo, in time to hang them up in the hall before Christmas!
I used this mainly as a communication activity to work on Picture Exchange Communication System as well as increasing my students' length of sentences. I gave them the gingerbread man, but then they had to request for all the pieces to glue on. I cut the gingerbread men out using a die-cut, and then drew/cut out the accessories on my own.
Here, a student is requesting using a single picture for "gloves."
And here, a student is requesting using a full sentence "I want orange scarf." Other students (who can talk) were expected to use similar language, but spoken instead of using pictures.
