Build a Gingerbread House Game
Build a Gingerbread House Game
Have some sweet fun with this versatile game. This is great to use in small groups to keep hands busy while asking questions or practicing speech sounds or facts. Give a copy of the house template to each player. Then as players roll the dice, they select parts of the house to decorate. The first to complete their house is the winner.

Gingerbread House Ideas
Looking for some cute ideas for gingerbread houses. Find some inspiration in this collection of gingerbread houses
My favorite is always the classic – “glue” graham cracker squares to the outside of milk/cream cartons using frosting, then decorate as you wish. I also love “painting” upside-down sugar ice cream cones with green frosting and then decorating with sprinkles to look like trees.
