Children will create a board game based on the book "Gingerbread Baby" by Jan Brett.
Materials: - Gingerbread Baby by Jan Brett
- Candyland game to use as a sample
- Tag Board
- Paper cutter
- Game pieces ( Collect from old games or use bingo markers)
- List of spelling/sight words you want the children to learn.
- Dice or cubes the children write numerals on.
Plan: - Create a sectioned path showing the journey the baby took until he arrived at the gingerbread house. (One game board for each student).
- The object of the game is to get to the house first.
- Students roll the dice, land on sections, and draw cards. ( I made the children use the sight word they drew, in a complete sentence. You could use math facts, or most any concept you are studying.) Instead of dice a spinner could be substituted!
- The children can draw along the path to illustrate the journey or cut and paste the pictures available on Jan Brett's web site.
Comments:
I like to make sugar cookie homes with my own children during the holidays. I fill the inside with wrapped candy and small toys. They break the house open on Christmas Eve to share the goodies with Santa. Even my big teenager thinks building the house is "COOL"
