Project
Oh no! The elves have set fire to Santa’s workshop
by accident. You have to help them rebuild Santa’s workshop in time for Christmas. Santa really
likes Gingerbread houses so he wants a Gingerbread house for his workshop. Santa’s not so sure
about what model he wants so he needs you to describe the house to
help him make his choice. Santa will go see your good work before
Christmas to decide which house is the best for his workshop.
You will be in teams of 2:
-Each person describes 2 different rooms of the house. (eg. Kitchen,
bedroom)

Draw the exterior AND the interior of your Gingerbread house

Name your gingerbread house

Be original :) Elves like houses that are colourful and original
