One of my favorite units to teach in December is the Gingerbread Man. I love that there are so many version of this story and so many great activities to do, including story sequencing and comparing different versions of the story. I recently discovered the story Gingerbread Girl and felt it was a great story for compare and contrast. I always begin with the original version of the story and have so much fun with this story. The students have so much fun independently reading their own little emergent readers. We create these sequencing graphic organizers to tell the beginning, middle and ending of the story. You can either have students cut and paste the pictures in the correct order or they can be more open ended and students can draw events that happened in the beginning, middle and end of the story (and if you do this, you can use it for any version of the story!) Or students can complete story sequencing based on several different version of the story. I can included pictures for the version by the version by Jim Aylesworth, Catherine McCafferty, Gail Yerrill, and Eric Kimmel. I also love having student sort pictures from the story and those that do not belong. This gets students thinking more about the story and story elements. We have a blast using our phonics skills to label the Gingerbread man and a phonics activity where we are listening for the middle sounds in a word. And a writing activity where we write our own name and draw a picture of ourselves chasing after the Gingerbread man. I love saving this sheet for all of my students and creating a class book out of it. Students love re-reading it in our classroom library. Students can also complete a gingerbread man directed drawing which is always a fun activity and write about it. We also love doing some Gingerbread man themed math. Included is a simpler version with numbers to 10 as well as additional practice with teen numbers. Finally, I tie in other versions of the story. One of my favorites is The Gingerbread Girl. We compared The Gingerbread Man and The Gingerbread Girl using a Venn diagram. There are two version included (which are included as a freebie at the end of this post). You can use the selected cut and paste pictures or students can draw or write their own pictures or words to compare and contrast the two stories. (note- the version of The Gingerbread Man that includes a snake and wolf can be found here The Gingerbread Man- retold by Catherine McCafferty affiliate link) Included is also a more open ended version where students can write or draw their own pictures You can find the Gingerbread Man story sequencing and other Gingerbread Man activities in my Gingerbread Man Sub Packet. This includes all of the activities above and more that can be used as a full day worth of activities including writing, math, sequencing, an emergent reader. These activities can also be used as a story extension. And the free Gingerbread Man and Gingerbread Girl Venn Diagram here: I hope that you and your students enjoy these activities!

We have read a few different versions of The Gingerbread Man (Amazon Affiliate Link) this week. This version with lively illustrations by Karen Schmidt, has been our favorite, The appeal of The Gingerbread Man Story Little learners always treasure this story. I think its endearing appeal lies in the combination of thoughts of the sweet treat itself, the adorable visual appeal of a gingerbread man shape, his cheeky character and the engaging catchy repetition of "Run, run, as fast as you can..." within the text. The story tells of the gingerbread man escaping the oven and cottage, and encountering a few problems along his way. The repetition within the text allows for joyful and enthusiastic joint collaborative reading (get ready for the chanting)! After reading The Gingerbread Man This story is just perfect for 'retelling'. It has a familiar and memorable structure and students are always eager to recall what has happened in the story. I've always found it perfect for 'mapping out' with readers as an introduction to a more formal look at text structure. Discuss, note down on chart paper and illustrate the elements of the story as well as the stages that give its structure - beginning/middle/end (or for older students, introduction, complication, resolution, conclusion). Story Map and Worksheet for The Gingerbread Man I've made a story map poster visual that you could use after any read-aloud to ignite a discussion about the structure of the story you have read. It includes a look at who, when, where and what with the story elements and structure. Have your students draw or jot down some ideas about the beginning, middle and end of The Gingerbread Man using this printable worksheet. It would look wonderful colored and on display on a bulletin board as well. Find these free printables in Google Drive - The Gingerbread Man Story Map and Worksheet Share
