Gingerbread Boy and Friends
by Deb Marshall
I invite you to have some fun this season with the classic tale, The Gingerbread Boy.
Listen
The Gingerbread Boy from Calgary Public Library
Read
Take a trip to the library and ask the librarian to help your find even more titles!
Write
Use your favorite holiday baking or treats and turn them into stories like The Gingerbread Boy. For example:
The Little Shortbread Girl
Roll Away Fruit Cake
Sugar Cookie Cut and RUN
The Rice Crispie Square Showdown
Use family members as the characters who will chase the runaway treats. If you have them, don’t forget to include your pets, even if they are fish, in the chase. Or, if doing this with a classroom, use your classmates, teachers, and other school staff.
To make this extra special, make the favorite holiday treat that you write about (ie Sugar Cookies, Shortbread) wrap it up and give it, and a copy of your story as a gift! You could even include a drawing or coloring page for the person you are giving this to.
Have fun listening, reading, writing, and…eating.
