Gingerbread Man Preschool Activities

We LOVE using Gingerbread Man Activities for learning during the holiday season. It’s the perfect theme to include everyone in seasonal fun and activities for all ages from Preschool to Kindergarten. You can get it all for just $7.50

Morning tubs are often used as students are coming in and settling in for the day. Kids are engaged while take home folders are being opened and checked, attendance is being taken, and those types of daily tasks. Math and Literacy Centers are great for a couple of reasons.

1. Socialization: Math and Literacy Centers give kids a chance to work together in small groups. They get to share pieces, solve problems together, and even just talk, play, and learn for a few minutes with a couple of their tablemates.
2. Creativity and Play: Creativity is something we can build and increase by spending time working on it. Math and Literacy Centers are a perfect way to introduce a little more play and freedom into learning rather than traditional worksheets or morning work that kept kids busy but did not encourage creativity and play.

Alphabet Drive

Take a drive through gingerbread roads to practice letter recognition and find the matching letters. Mark them with pom poms, button, or even candy!

Gingerbread Measurement

Non standard measurement is such an important early math skill for preschoolers. Use small blocks to measure the different objects. Compare the largest and smallest.

Gingerbread Run Shapes

Run, Run, as fast as you can and match the shapes on the path using buttons or foam shapes.

Gingerbread Skyscrapers

Help build the gingerbread man’s house by completing the block patterns.

Gingerbread Matching

Matching is a great way to practice visual discrimination. Turn the cards over to make this activity a memory game for more fun!

Gingerbread Addition

Practice addition by counting the places filled in on the 10 frames. Mark your answer with any small manipulative.

Alphabet Cars

Help the Gingerbread Man find the matching letter cars by marking them with any small manipulative.

Gumdrop Patterns

We enjoy activities that work on multiple skills…and this one has fine motor and pattern practice! And as an added bonus, you can make it a “snack-tivity” using candy or gumdrops!

Hidden Gingerbread

Play I Spy to find and count all the Gingerbread men. Then use a hole punch to mark the number you found.

More or Less Gingerbread

Turn this activity into a dramatic play center. You can use Gingerbread cookies to complete each card.
