Gingerbread Five Senses FREEBIE

December 14, 2014 By Ashley 5 Comments

Since I knew the kiddos would be drooling over their gingerbread houses and wouldn’t be able to wait to sample them, I whipped up this five senses activity to use with actual gingerbread cookies.  Let’s just say the kiddos were super excited to begin investigating the gingerbread cookies using their five senses!

First, I read My Five Senses by Aliki.  As we read, we created a little anchor chart that we could use once we began investigating our gingerbread cookies.

Then, we held the cookie and used our sense of touch to describe it.  I was super impressed with their answers… hard, bumpy, sandy, and smooth.

We also used our sense of sight and smell to investigate the gingerbread cookie.  Check out how the student responded using her sense of smell!

This might be a fun holiday party activity, or even just a fun last-day-before-break activity!  Speaking of holiday parties, I blogged about my holiday party yesterday.  Does your school allow parties?

    Very cute! Thanks for sharing! We tasted a gingerbread cookie last week. My students never had gingerbread and they all liked it. We also used our 5 senses as we are finishing up that unit. Our school has 2 parties a year-Christmas and Valentine's. We have room moms who plan, then come in to have the parties. They do a craft, snack, game, and open gifts. Teachers are there to assist.

      A bunch of my kiddos hadn't ever tried gingerbread either! I am glad that we were able to investigate them in class. Don't you just love room moms?!?! I usually ask for needed donations and organize the centers, but I have parent volunteers run each center. Thanks for stopping by!
