FREE Roll-A-Gingerbread Man Printable Game

This is a popular activity from our Little Giraffes Gingerbread Theme Unit.

UPDATED FOR 2025!  I noticed our ole gingerbread man from the early 2000s needed a spa treatment. He got a brand new  Roll-A-Gingerbread Man printable!! We also have other brand new gingerbread man printables on the site, so be sure not to miss the Build A Gingerbread Man Craft and the Gingerbread Man Name Craft Generator.

Page 1 has the game directions and a die chart: roll 1 for the head, 2 for the body, 3 for the face, 4 for an arm, 5 for a leg and 6 for a button. Page 2 has a faint gingerbread man outline to draw on.

  • Roll-A-Gingerbread Man Game (Printable PDF)

Students need a blank sheet of paper or use the template included in the download. They work in small groups and take turns rolling a die to make a gingerbread man, including his head, body, face 2 arms, 2 legs and at least 3 buttons. The first one to finish drawing his gingerbread man is the winner!

The pre-drawn gingerbread man is helpful for the students if they roll a 3, 4, 5, or 6 before they’ve drawn the head or body. It gives them a point of reference to draw their face, arms, legs and buttons.
