Sing this chant with the children: Five yummy gingerbreads, sitting on a plate. The first one said, “Boy, we smell great.” The second one said, “There's a chill in the air.” The third one said, “I see hungry children everywhere.” The fourth one said, “I think we better run!” The fifth one said, “Here the children come.” Then the children grabbed one and with a munch, munch, munch, the five yummy gingerbreads all turned into lunch! Give each child a gingerbread cookie and have them take one bite. Put a graph up with heading that says, “What did you bite first?” with the choices “head, arm or leg.” Have the children place a block under the appropriate heading. Analyze the results by counting each one and determining what part most of the class bit off first.
