This wonderful gingerbread counting book can be sung to the first 4 phrases of "Up on the Housetop." After singing the first two gingerbread numbers (10 gingerbread men and 9 gingerbread men).
Consider adding rhythm gingerbread men while singing the book. See the blog activity in Dec 6 2014 for a more detailed description. Use the rhythm gingerbread men to create an 8-beat rhythm pattern to be spoken or played. The rhythm gingerbread men would be created and played after singing 10-9. The rhythm activity could be repeated after 8-7, 6-5, 4-3 and 2-1.
For kindergarten children, I simply use gingerbread men with a heart pattern on each tummy to provide a steady beat practice tapping activity.
