Making Gingerbread People:- Life Skills - Visual Recipes and supplementary resources.

Making Gingerbread People: This resource has a notebooks and a worksheet and a visual symbol board for Christmas.
Making Gingerbread Men or making Gingerbread Women
The notebook is designed for the students to use it as a visual sequence when cooking. It has all the ingredients and utensils needed and then an easy to follow recipe.
The Gingerbread people can be made at anytime of the year, but especially good at Christmas and can be used as gifts
It has an inbuilt shopping activity so that the cooking can be integrated into a shopping program.
Within the shopping part which encourages literacy skills, students can choose what they will buy and then make their own shopping list by either writing it or sticking the associated visual onto their shopping list.
There are also some integrated literacy skills to match the ingredients as well as some writing sheets.
There is a fun activity on the notebook to dress a gingerbread person.
It was created for students with special needs (SEN) for teaching life skills but can be used as a valuable resource for early years literacy.
