Writing Prompts:

“Run, Run, as fast as you can, you can’t catch me, I’m the __________ Man!”
After reading the story Ninjabread Man by C.J. Leigh, have the students think of another type of Gingerbread Man that could go really fast and could get away from those who are trying to catch him.

“(Verb, Verb) as fast as you can, you can’t catch me, I’m the Gingerbread Man)”
After discussing what a verb is, brainstorm a list of different verbs besides “run” that the Gingerbread Man can do. Students will choose one to write about.

“I can run away from ___________, I can run away from you , too!
Students will write about what else the Gingerbread Man could be running away from! Maybe he runs away from a lion, or a witch, or even Santa (because we all know how much he loves cookies!)

“If I caught the Gingerbread Man, I would _______________.”
Students will write about what THEY would do if they caught the Gingerbread Man! Would they eat him? Would they take him home?
