I was inspired to day by Mrs. Lee's Blog. She has some great ideas for her Kindergarten class that I incorporated into First Grade. She made a life sized Gingerbread Man and did an non-standard unit of measurement activity.
Here is the one we used in our class. The kids loved it!

The students measure the Gingerbread Man with paper peppermints. Then they compare themselves to see if they are shorter or taller than the gingerbread man. I made my own version of the activity. I added a writing extension to the activity to explain their findings.

Here is also my LoveTwoTeach Gingerbread Unit for free. It includes 18 pages of Gingerbread Man Ideas such as centers, math, and writing. Happy Teaching!
Thanks so much for sharing this. Would you mind if I shared the details on http://www.freehomeschoolprintables.blogspot.com/
