My Gingerbread Man Lesson plans for preschool are my all-time favorite! First, kids love the story. Secondly, there are so many crafts and activities to stretch the story and bring it to life! During Gingerbread week, my classroom transforms! To begin with, I put out pocket chart strips and classroom posters. Then, my alphabet wall is taken over by a Gingerbread Alphabet. Last, but not least, there is a Gingerbread Bakery in the dramatic play area. Also, I plug in a gingerbread scented wallflower so my entire room smells like gingerbread cookies!
The Gingerbread Man Lesson Plan
I have such a fun All About Gingerbread 5-Day Lesson Plan in my TPT store. Consequently, it is one of my best-sellers. To tell the truth, the activities are my favorite of the year! As a result, it is chock-full of Math centers, Literacy centers, Art & Science. Not to mention a book list, video list, labels, daily plans, posters for your classroom, and so much more! Above all, it is a time-saver, to say nothing of the learning and fun for your class! In short, you will get some fresh ideas that you will be able to add to your own lesson plans.
