Gingerbread Man Mania!- Literacy Edition

My students are having sooo much fun with the Gingerbread Man this week!

Each day we read a different version of the story, then fill in this story comparison chart:

This picture gives a bit of perspective on the size of the chart: 

During read aloud/story time I read yet another version of the Gingerbread Man, but we don't really delve into them as much as we do with the versions I read during Guided Reading.

Here are some Gingerbread literacy activities we've been enjoying this week:

SYLLABLE SORTING

Students sorted the gingerbread/Christmas pictures into groups by their number of syllables, then fill out the syllable worksheet.

RHYMING

Students matched picture cards of rhyming words.

BEGINNING SOUNDS

Using letter tiles and/or magnetic letters, students put the beginning letter of each picture onto the mats.

LETTER SORTING

Students sorted through a box of magnetic letters and/or letter tiles and matched them to the letters on the mats.

Be sure to check out our Gingerbread Man math activities this week, too!
