What’s the Difference?

After reading the gingerbread man
poem (included with this activity) and a
book (The Gingerbread Man by Karen
Schmidt as a suggestion), have the
children decide if a card shows
something that is in the poem, the
book, both, or neither. Put the card in
the proper ring. If it doesn’t belong to
either or both versions, make a stack
of discards. 20 detail cards included
(compare/contrast story versions;
Venn diagram)
