It's a kindergarten tradition.
Every year we bake gingerbread cookies and somehow they run away.
Honestly, it is my favourite thing ever.
Students followed clues around the school, looking for the cookies. They read the clues out loud and discussed what they might mean--did a place to run around mean outside or the gym for example? They even made wanted posters describing their cookies.
We speculated about why they might have run away and how to get them to come back. My favourite suggestion was Felix's... that we be tricky like the fox that caught the gingerbread man in the story and pretend we were another class.
Luckily, by the end of the day they were safe in Mr. Zippies and home to you.
