It’s officially time to get excited for the holidays! As the festive season approaches, there’s an undeniable air of excitement and joy in our classrooms. The fun holiday crafts lining the halls and the anticipation of holiday fun make this time of year truly magical for our little learners.
What are some popular Christmas activities?
There are many ways that you can bring holiday cheer to your classroom, but I wanted to share a unique spin- gingerbread-themed activities!
In the spirit of spreading holiday cheer, I’m thrilled to share some gingerbread-themed activities that will make your classroom feel like a winter wonderland. If you’re looking for Christmas activities for students or Gingerbread Man activities, you’re in the right place!
Here are my top 3 Gingerbread Man activities for kindergarten or early elementary students!
Gingerbread Man Craft and Writing Activities
Let your students turn into the gingerbread man (or girl) this holiday season! This is a fun headband or writing topper that comes with bonus writing prompts. Students will color, cut, and glue the parts together to turn themselves into a gingerbread cookie!
Build a Gingerbread House or Man Writing Activity
Are you looking for a great way to do an engaging virtual OR in-person Holiday writing lesson with students with a gingerbread theme? I have you covered with these interactive, editable Google Slides to easily have students copy and paste movable parts to design their own gingerbread house or person. Then, they will write a narrative, persuasive, or opinion paper about the decorated gingerbread. You can even have a virtual contest!
Gingerbread Man Craft Bulletin Board Set
Are you looking for a great way to get students to sequence events with a gingerbread man theme or maybe an interactive decorative classroom bulletin board for your classroom? This download includes different pull waffle books to use with the story, a pocket to hold the characters for students to reenact the story, and BLANK waffle books to create your own story! Just add a bow and a folded lunch bag to create a keepsake for students to give to others or use on the bulletin board.
I hope these printable Gingerbread Man activities and digital activities bring a smile to your students’ faces this year.
