How to play Gingerbread Man Hunt
- Read The Gingerbread Man aloud, then discover that your paper gingerbread man has "run away".
- Find a note he left: "Catch me if you can! I went to see the librarian."
- Walk as a class to each place: the library, the office, the nurse, the gym.
- At each stop, a staff member hands over the next clue.
- End back in the classroom where the gingerbread man (and maybe a cookie for each student) is waiting.
Variations
- Back to school: use the hunt to introduce students to important places and people in the building.
💡 Teacher tips
- Tell the office and other staff the plan the day before.
