The Gingerbread Man Bulletin Board

Some of the works my 1st year classes did, when I taught them the Gingerbread story...


some ideas:


- Make a Gingerbread Cookie with plasticine;


- Colour Dictation;


- Tell the story and students have to fill gaps with animal sounds and mimic;


- Give them a worksheet with lots of pictures and they have to colour and order only the pictures related to the story.

More ideas ????
