Instructional Ideas

  • Have groups work on classroom devices to design the most creative gingerbread houses and present their creations to their peers
  • Bring in gingerbread cookies for learners to share after their project

Classroom Considerations

  • Requires access to the Internet (and a printer if you want students to print their work)
  • Ensure that learners don't click on the website ads, as they will be directed away from their page

Pros

  • Bright, colorful, and engaging
  • Learners can save and/or print when they finish their creations

Cons

  • None
