A Gingerbread Man Disguise to Hide From Santa!

This display is built upon the following scenario, which is included in your resource download. We’ve added all you need to get students and parents involved in its creation. To begin, students meet the gingerbread man, who has an urgent message!

Dear Students,

I need your help! Christmas is almost here and I’m scared! Santa’s favorite treat on Christmas Eve is a warm, soft Gingerbread cookie, and that’s me! While I love Santa and his elves, I really don’t want to be his midnight snack! Help me create a disguise to keep Santa from noticing me when he drops o his gis. Think of something unique or special and make me a costume. Your main goal is to dress me so that I don’t look like a cookie and remain uneaten. You could make me a ninja costume, or a knight, or maybe even Superman! Have fun and be creative! You may use any materials you like to make my disguise (except for food). Nobody wants ants spoiling Christmas morning!
