How Do You Eat Your Gingerbread Man Graph

I created this graph for my favorite kindergarten teacher who also happens to be a dear friend and was my son’s teacher. She has the kindergarten teacher magic– you know what that is, right? I saw this idea on Pinterest the other day and knew it would be perfect for her class. So, I created this FREE printable for her and for you! Enjoy!

Before beginning, grab some gingerbread men cookies from the local grocery store or whip up a batch at home to take to school. Give each child a cookie and ask them to take just ONE bite and then put their cookie down. Ask them to notice where they took their first bite. Was it the gingerbread man’s head? His foot? His arm?

How Do You Eat Your Gingerbread Man Graph

Put the graph below on the board (preferably enlarged) and have them put their name (or a tally) in the correct column.

Data Collection Paper

Then using the graph above, count how many students ate the gingerbread man’s head first, arm first and leg first. Put the data on the graph below to create a bar graph.

AFTER SCHOOL LINK UP

Love this idea from last week’s linky:

Create a Symmetrical Snowflake from Buggy and Buddy

The After School Link Up is a great place to share ideas and to find new ideas to do with your children after school or in your homeschool. The After School Link Up goes live every Monday. So, if you are a blogger, an educator or just some one looking for some good ideas, be sure to stop by Boy Mama Teacher Mama (or the other co-hosts) on Mondays and see what others have to share.

We would love to have you link up your School-Age Post (Ages 5 and up) about your learning week after school including Crafts, Activities, Playtime and Adventures that you are doing to enrich your children’s lives after their day at school, homeschool or on the weekend!
