Marshall refuses to believe that gingerbread men can run, until a series of clues leads his class on a riddle-filled gingerbread man hunt.
Rhyme: "I am Making Cookie Dough"
I am making cookie dough. (hold out arms in circle, like a bowl)
Round and round the beaters go. (roll hands)
Add some flour from a cup. (shake a pretend cup)
Stir and stir the batter up. (stirring motion)
Roll them, cut them nice and neat. (rolling pin motion)
Put them on a cookie sheet. (place pretend cookies)
Bake them, count them 1-2-3. (counting motion)
Serve them to my friends for tea. (take a bite!)
