LINKS TO THE GINGERBREAD

MAN

There are many links to the Gingerbread Man story that can be used as resources for the development of the thematic/literature unit. Some of the better unit links I have included. As I find more links for the unit I will add to this page. So, check back to catch a few more goodies.

This is one of my favorite places to visit. Victoria has a tremendous web site (KinderKorner). If you have not visited her pages you are missing out on a treat. She also has a unit for the Gingerbread Man. Join the KinderKorner mail ring for other great ideas. www.oocities.org/Heartland/Hollow/1213/gingerbread.html

Kindergarten Connection - Excellent resource for materials incorporating math and language arts into the unit. The prices for the units are nominal for such complete components. Games and other activities are available for purchase through Carol Gossett, Honey Pot Press. www.kconnect.com/kc-gingerbreadmanspecial.html

Jan Brett has an excellent web site. For teachers, email her requesting her "teacher pack". There are masks for the Gingerbread Baby book and calendar prints you can copy. A real treasure! www.janbrett.com

This company offers the children's book and cassette tape for $17.95. (1-800-543-3771). Their web site is: www.mmbmusic.com/gingerbreadman.html

This site is loaded with adorable graphics and ideas all focusing on the gingerbread theme. It is worth a visit. www.annieshomepage.com/gingerbread.html

For some social studies activities and other ideas, I found some sites that have some good information.
