Gingerbread House - DT activities
This unit can be used alongside the story of Hansel and Gretel. It provides opportunities for the children to use food technology to create a food product linked to their storytelling
Included:
• Planning
• Posters – UK’s top 20 Biscuits, History of Gingerbread Houses, recipes, sensory vocabulary
• Worksheets
• Target sheet (LO)
These activities encourage children to investigate different types of biscuits and find out the origins of the gingerbread house.
They use recipes to practice how to make different biscuits. Then taste and describe the appearance, texture, smell and taste of each biscuit, and find out which one everyone liked best using a tally chart.
Children practise how to make a house paper template and how to follow a recipe to create a gingerbread house. Then they design their own gingerbread house creating a new template, illustrating how their gingerbread house will look, list ingredients and equipment, write in which order they will work, and record their evaluation.

I have created a set of clear illustrated flashcards which provide information about individual food groups and essential vitamins and minerals. Each card describes how nutrients help our bodies stay healthy and lists the relevant foods.
Suggest using them for reading/research activities or for display.
Includes 2 worksheets to use along with the flashcards + answers sheets.
• Questionnaire – find out what some vitamins and minerals do.
• Table – use the table to record which vitamins and minerals are in the foods.
There are 2 flashcards on each A4 - you will need to cut and separate them to have individual flashcards. Suggest laminating too for durability.
I have also created additional resources (sold separately)
