paint the story’s pictures by touching and feeling. In the end, the teacher will
hang the posters on the wall and all the students will see the posters they
make.

nose and a mouth.” And the teacher draws them.

let's make a gingerbread man together.”

two arms” or “Do two eyes” etc.
 All students do it according to their teacher’s instruction.
 After they complete the gingerbread man, the teacher takes all
cookies and gives to the oven for cooking.

Activity Purpose: The purpose of this activity is to teach the parts of the
body with The Gingerbread Man character. The teacher first draws parts of
the body. Then, as in the book, students also make a gingerbread man with
real dough. It is a very useful activity for students because students like to
learn and learn better by touching and creating new things.

cardboard and put his or her hands in these holes.
  And there are some animals in the other side. Then, this friend tries
to guess which animal is.
(Appendice-8)
 If the students don’t know that animal, other students try to explain
by giving examples from the book. For example, they might say “It
(Appendice-9) runs or the first animal etc.”

of the animal with colored colouring pencils with their family.

Homework Purpose: In this homework, children repeat the animals and

body parts that they learned from the storybook. Also, they have a good time
with their families by doing drawing and painting.
