Gingerbread Printables
First, print off the gingerbread men on cardstock paper.
Next, cut them out.
I love this game for building memory and helping children learn to pay attention to details.
Next place the cards on the table face down.
Children then take turns flipping over two cards at a time.
When all the cards have been collected, the player with the most cards wins!
This game is for two players.
To begin, each player draws five cards from the pile of gingerbread men.
They then take turns asking each other for a card.
For example, player one may have a 2+3 in their hand.
They would ask the other player if they have a five.
If player two doesnt have it, they simply say Go Eat!.
Player one must draw a card from the pile.
A player may also ask for an expression.
If they have a gingerbread man with five on it, they can ask for a 3 + 2.
The other player must give up any card that has 2 + 3 or 3 + 2 on it.
The game ends when a player no longer has cards in their hand.
That player counts the number of cards they were able to match.
The player with the largest number of matches wins.
Learning with Christmas themed printable adds a little extra fun to math time!
