Here are some of the activities Gary has enjoyed and wants to share with all his friends in Nursery class!
We used these in a variety of activities.
No snazzy craft materials needed- our gingerbread men have been cut out from empty cereal boxes.
CHALLENGE: Can you peg your gingerbread men onto a washing line/ clothes airer?
Gary again pegged the gingerbread men onto the airer. This time he pegged them in the correct numerical order from 1-10.
CHALLENGE: Can you peg your gingerbread men in the correct order?
Begin with ordering 1-3, then 1-5 and then extend to ordering 1-10.
Use the numbers your child has been comfortable ordering.
If they struggle telling you what number is missing- get them to point to where the space is. Then count up together from 1 until you get to the empty space.
CHALLENGE: Can you count the correct number of objects onto your gingerbread men?
Gary had to make it the same on the other side.
Gary looked carefully he saw that there was a blue pompom on the gingerbread man's arm so he put a blue pompom on the other arm.
He saw there was a green pompom on his foot so he put a green pompom on his other foot etc.
CHALLENGE: can you copy a pattern to make your gingerbread look symmetrical?
CHALLENGE: Can you make a trap to catch the gingerbread man?
CHALLENGE: Can you explain your gingerbread man trap to your adult?
Can you answer questions about the different parts of your trap?
He had a few ideas.
First he thought he could put it by the kitchen door to catch him before he ran outside. However, he then thought that perhaps the gingerbread man may jump out of the window instead of going out of the door.
Gary then decided he would put it underneath the oven so any runaway gingerbread men could be caught instantly!
CHALLENGE: Can you think of a place to lay your trap and tell you adult why you want to put it there?
