Everyday as students arrive we have different arrival activities. Usually it’s a question of the day, or a partner activity. Today’s activity used partners and counting! After students hung up their backpacks they picked a partner and took turns counting from the ground how many gingerbread men tall they were. Then they had to take their name tags to our Question of the Day chart and “sign-in” for the name by placing their tag next to the appropriate number. This is a great activity to promote working together, rote counting, name and number recognition. But most of all it’s fun!! The gingerbread men are from a foam sticker “Legend of the Gingerbread Man” kit from Oriental Trading. The kit includes 12 foam gingerbread-men, tags explaining the legend, and foam stickers for icing, gum drops, and peppermints (plus extra pieces!!). They make the cutest gingerbread men, but I’m actually using the stickers for our gingerbreadman counting stew later this month! These items were provided complimentary as part of the Oriental Trading Brand Ambassador program. Items can be found at Oriental Trading. All ideas and opinions are strictly my own.
