Gingerbread

Homemade Gingerbread

Stir a bowl of gingerbread,
Smooth and spicy brown.
Roll it with a rolling pin,
Up and up and down.
With a cookie cutter,
Make some little men.
Put them in the oven,
Till half past ten.

A Gingerbread Poem

What do you feel?
The cookie dough.
It's smooth and soft to touch.
Cool and squishy in my hands;
I like it very much!

What do you hear?
The rolling pin.
It's rolling out the dough.
"Rrr-rrr" goes the rolling pin,
A-rolling to and fro.

What do you smell?
A spicy scent.
It's filling up the room.
Sweet and strong, it smells so good-
Much better than perfume.

What do you see?
A fresh-bakced treat.
Its color is just right:
What a lovely golden brown!
A very pretty sight!

What do you taste?
The gingerbread!
A spicy treat or two.
Sweet and yummy in my mouth;
Now I'll share some with you!

Where is My Gingerbread Man?
(to the tune of "Oh Where Has My Little Dog Gone?")

Oh where, oh where is my Gingerbread Man?
Oh where, oh where can he be?
He popped out of the oven and ran out the door.
Oh where, oh where can he be?

Gingerbread Song
(to the tune of "The Muffin Man")

Oh, do you know the Gingerbread Man,
The Gingerbread Man, the Gingerbread Man?
Oh, do you know the Gingerbread Man,
Who ran and ran and ran?

He said, "Catch me if you can,
If you can, if you can."
He said, "Catch me if you can,
Then ran and ran and ran.

I can run like the Gingerbread Man.
The Gingerbread Man, the Gingerbread Man.
I can run like the Gingerbread Man.
Now catch me if you can.

Gingerbread
(to the tune of "Frere Jacques") Gingerbread,
Gingerbread,
Yum, Yum, Yum,
Yum, Yum, Yum,
I like gingerbread
I like gingerbread
In my tum!
In my tum!

Gingerkids
(to the tune of "10 Little Indians")

One little, two little, three little gingerkids.
Four little, five little, six little gingerkids.
Seven little, eight little, nine little gingerkids.
Ten littl gingerbread kids.

The Gingerbread Man
(to the tune of "The Wheels on the Bus"

The Gingerbread Man goes through the town,
Through the town, through the town.
The Gingerbread Man goes through the town,
Singing, "Catch me if you can!"

He ran away from a cow,
From a cow, from a cow.
He ran away from a cow,
Singing, "Catch me if you can!"

--continue song by replacing "cow" with
man, cow, horse, sheep, dog, etc.

Then he came to a fox,
To a fox, to a fox.
Then he came to a fox,
And the fox said, "You can trust me."

Then he ate him up!
Yes sir-ee!
