Literacy Snack Idea Lion + Free Printable

May 9, 2018

Literacy Snack Idea Lion + Free Printable

The end of the school year is creeping up fast! We’re headed on our last field trip of the year this Friday. I wanted to tie in our literacy snack idea this week, so we’re reading, The Gingerbread Man Loose At The Zoo, by Laura Murray.

The class goes on a field trip to the zoo and they  get to solve riddles on a WILD scavenger hunt. They meet giraffes, monkeys, and even a fox. But a zoo full of critters is a tricky place for a tasty cookie—even a very fast one—and the Gingerbread Man ends up separated from his friends. He needs to solve all of the riddles to catch up with his class and help someone else who is lost.

I took a poll of the kids favorite animal at the zoo and a lion was the top choice, so that is what our snack is that we’re making this week.

Ingredients

each student will need

1 slice of wheat bread

1 blueberry

2 candy eyes

1 cutie orange

4 pieces of shredded cheese

Optional – gingerbread cookie to go with the story. Pepperage Farms makes them year round.

  • 1 circle cookie cutter for the class to share

Assemble

To make the lion snacks, first have the kids take turns using the cookie cutter to make a circle from their piece of bread. This will be the lions head. Next, they can peel the orange, and place it around the head as it’s hair, or mane. Add the blueberry on as his nose, the cheese as his whiskers and the candy eyes. Isn’t he cute?!

While the students are enjoying their snacks, I made a free printable for them to work on. I created a new little riddle that the kids can read and guess the animal like in the story. They can then draw a picture of it .
