Thanks to the teacher of our Alabama pen pals we went on a Gingerbread Man scavenger hunt around the school! I put up clues around the school during their lunch time. Then after lunch we came back and had our normal read aloud time, but since we were done with Narnia I read "The Gingerbread Man". My kids loved this cute little picture book - I was slightly surprised. At the end of the book there was a clue that just happened to be stuck there. I read it all surprised like and asked "Should we follow it??" Of course we did...The kids had a lot of fun with it!
At the end of the hunt, we came back to our classroom for the last clue and found the Gingerbread man stuck in our closet with some gingerbread man cookies and coloring sheets. So we ate the cookies and colored while listening to Christmas music and the kids continued to wonder how on earth I had the time to put the clues around campus... ;-)
