Cove a piece of cardboard with aluminum foil (to make it look like a cookie sheet) and paste several gingerbread men on it. Write a different number on each gingerbread man. Let your children count out a corresponding number of gumdrops (or cheerios) and put on each one. This is a great fun math lesson
Real Cookie Bingo
Play Just like real bingo but use cookies to cover the squares! Cut out gingerbread people shapes. Then cut out different clothing items for the shapes (shoes, hats, jackets, etc.) Let your children create a gingerbread wordrobe Outline cookie cutters on a file folder. Let your children match the cookie cutter with the outline. Make bingo boards on circular pieces of brown paper. Provide your children with chocolate chips (made from paper) to use to cover an area. When they get bingo, give them a real cookie! Create a large cookie monster with his mouth cutout. Then play just like 'pin the tail on the donkey' only with cookies. Play Just like real bingo but use cookies to cover the squares!. I have a gingerbread girl doll and my class went on a hunt to find her. I wrote a note and left clues.

For my Gingerbread Theme to teach the sounds the letters make I cut out 26 small gingerbreadmen. I write the alphabet letters on each one and make a gingerbread house out of a shoe box. We sing "Run run as fast as you can you can't catch me I'm the gingerbread boy or girl." Then we hold up a letter and sing that sound for example: DD as D as you can you can't catch me I'm the letter Everything Preschool >> Themes  >> Cookies and Gingerbread People >> Games
