Hello
We hope you enjoyed Tuesday’s story and we are sure you will have come up with lots of wonderful ideas of your own.
Please look below to see today’s suggestions.
- Read ‘The Gingerbread Man’ or find a version on YouTube – https://youtu.be/U89dkGrsYZY
- Retell the story together, especially the repetitive “Run, Run…”
- On a big piece of paper draw a line to represent the journey the Gingerbread Man makes and add pictures of the animals he meets along the way.
- Try to remember all the animals which feature in the story in the correct order. Choose one of the animals and find out more about it online or in a book. Record what you find by creating a model/picture/video.
- Bake gingerbread men/other shapes together, discussing the steps in the recipe and measuring ingredients together.
- Smell, taste, observe and describe different ingredients as you use them e.g. spicy, sticky, dry, delicious
- Help with the tidying and washing up after baking.
- Watch this: https://youtu.be/LqMPbs2KUEI How many other words can you think of that start with the ‘m’ sound? Can you put a few of them together to make a silly name or phrase? e.g. Mummy’s magic music or monster melon
- Create a gingerbread man collage.
- Look at the shape of the Gingerbread Man. Is his body the same as ours? Name as many body parts as you can, play body ‘I Spy’ or sing ‘Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes’.
- The Gingerbread Man invites everyone to run. If you can, go outside and run, walk, jump, climb.

Have a lovely day!
