The Gingerbread Man - UK

Our multi-award-winning Come Alive Stories software is now available as a multi-platform app, which means that you can enjoy your favourite software on your favourite devices! Simply use your multi-platform licence to activate the Gingerbread Man on your iPads and computers.

There is a host of fresh features in this exciting new edition that makes great use of your iPad’s tools, including the facility for children to voice record their own stories and create personalised storybooks.

Whether they are using an interactive whiteboard or iPad, working individually or in small groups, children will love getting actively involved in the story of the Gingerbread Man as they explore the interactive e-book, enjoy a sung version of the story, play listening games and investigate story-related non-fiction, such as learning about fast animals, how to make gingerbread and animal tracks. And, as they record and write their own stories, they will become practised storytellers and authors! Perfect for Early Years Foundation Stage, as well as supporting the Key Stage 1 curriculum.
