Perfect for the classroom, this craftivity works best with some cardstock, or you can mount the paper to some construction paper for extra sturdiness. Have fun singing along to “Gingerbread House”! Stream the song and watch it on our website. Now let’s get started:

Lyrics
We hope you enjoy the song lyrics to “Gingerbread House”
I live in a gingerbread house
with a gingerbread door.
Gingerbread walls
and a gingerbread floor.
A gingerbread roof
and a gingerbread chimney.
A gingerbread yard
with a gingerbread tree.
I have a gingerbread table
and gingerbread chairs.
Gingerbread plates
and gingerbread stairs.
A gingerbread couch
and a gingerbread rug.
Gingerbread drinks
in my gingerbread mug.
I live in a gingerbread house.
A gingerbread house.
A gingerbread house.
A cozy little gingerbread house.
This is my gingerbread house!
I have a gingerbread window.
A gingerbread bed.
Gingerbread clothes,
made with gingerbread thread.
Gingerbread toys
and gingerbread blocks.
A gingerbread teddy bear
in gingerbread socks.
I have a gingerbread clock
by my gingerbread plant.
Gingerbread books
and a gingerbread lamp.
A gingerbread fireplace
with gingerbread logs.
A gingerbread bone
for my gingerbread dog.
I live in a gingerbread house.
A gingerbread house.
A gingerbread house.
A cozy little gingerbread house.
This is my gingerbread house!
I live in a gingerbread house.
A gingerbread house.
A gingerbread house.
A cozy little gingerbread house.
This is my gingerbread house!
