These items were found in a clip art collection and were printed up on construction paper. For our daily opening activity we sing the Gingerbread Name Song and a child comes up to find their name on a Gingerbread Man, name the color then place their name by a large Gingerbread House. The men have velcro on their backs and attaches to the Gingerbread House picture. Most of our children can easily recognize their name with this fun game. Tree Color Game Colored circles to represent the lights are attached by velcro to our Christmas tree below.
Children can either pick out a color and name it before putting on the tree.
Or the teacher can name the color and ask the child to find it and put it on the tree. Since we have doubles of each color, we can also use it to match the colors. This tree has had many different uses in our centers. These little Gingerbread Men were computer generated graphics which were cut out and laminated.
