You’ll know us the best perhaps, That’s ‘cause we are gingersnaps .
Fortune Cookie #1 (Crosby, Ava, PM, Zoe, Jackie):
Listen up everybody your future is clear .
We are fortune cookies, so have no fear!
(Reading from a slip of paper)
It may seem scary and it may seem strange .
But you’re all headed to a cookie exchange!
All: A cookie exchange! What’s that?
Peanut Butter (Gwen):
That is where the bakers get together and each bring a batch of cookies and
they mix us all together then everybody takes home a few of us!
Sugar Cookie (PQ, Fallon, Evie, Bella):
Sounds scary!
Ginger Snaps: (Kamryn, Abigail, Heran, Arsema)
Sounds fun!
Gingerbread Boy 3 (Mason):
It sounds to me like there is a catch,
You mean we all get separated from our batch?
Gingerbread Girl 4: (Ruth)
Making new friends is something I don’t mind,
but I’d rather stick with my very own kind .
(Everybody talks at once agreeing with her saying things
like . “Yeah! I want to be with my friends .” “Please don’t mix us up!” “I don’t like the sound of a cookie exchange!” )
Song #2: My Batch
All:
A herd of deer,
A swarm of bees,
We can live together like any of these .
Geese are in a gaggle before they even hatch . That’s what it means to be part of a batch .
A pride of lions,
A school of fish,
Stayin’ with my friends is all that I wish .
A colony of mice isn’t easy to catch,
That’s why they stick together in their very Own batch .
All:
All alike! That’s what we like .
We learned that lesson long ago . All alike! That’s what we like . Sticking close to what we know .
All:
A team of ox,
A charm of fox,
A mob of kangaroos is gettin’ ready to box .
A pack of mules can kick,
A pod of pelicans are pink!
A drove of pigs can really stink!
(shouted): P.U.!!!
All:
All alike! That’s what we like .
We learned that lesson long ago . All alike! That’s what we like! Sticking close to what we know .
Spoken solos:
Solo 1 (Ava & PM): We’re just like a pod of whales!
Solo 2 (Ave & PM): A pack of wolves!
Solo 3 (Zoe & Crosby): Kittens with tails!
Solo 4 (Zoe & Crosby): We stick together like a colony of bats!
Solo 5 (Arsema & Jackie): One big batch is where we’re at!
Solo 6 (Arsema & Jackie): A tower of giraffes!
Solo 7 (Gwen & Bella): A stand of flamingos!
Solo 8 (Gwen & Bella): Where his batch goes, that’s where he goes!
Solo 9 (PQ & Evie): We stick together like chicks that hatch!
Solo 10 (PQ & Evie): Right at home in our own batch!
All:
All alike! That’s what we like .
We learned that lesson long ago .
All alike! That’s what we like .
Sticking close to what we know .
All:
A herd of deer,
A swarm of bees,
We can live together like any of these .
Geese are in a gaggle before they even hatch . That’s what it means to be part of a batch .
That’s what it means to be part of a batch . That’s what it means to be part of a batch .
A batch!
Scene 3: The Cookies Are Nervous
Gingerbread #4 (RUTH): (nervously)
I don’t know if I like this cookie exchange . It all seems just a little bit strange .
Gingerbread #5 (ANNIE): (also nervous)
The whole thing seems quite scary to me, I like my friends to stay close to me .
Ginger Snaps ALL: (snapping)
The whole idea seems like a trap .
I‘d rather stay here with the rest of the snaps .
Sugar Cookies 1 (Fallon):
We sugar cookies don’t want trouble or fuss.
Sugar Cookies 2 (PQ):
But we’d rather be with cookies who are just like us .
(All agree and make agreeable noises.)
(We hear some faint barking and the yelping of puppies.)
Gingerbread #1 (Carter):
Ahoy! Ahoy! For someone is approachin’ .
Tell us fortune cookie what is to be our fortune?
Fortune Cookie #1 (JACKIE):
Someone is coming and they sure are in a hurry . They have four legs and they look rather furry .
Cookies (ARSEMA, BELLA): (very frightened)
It’s a litter of puppies and they are out to have some fun . They love cookies so we all better run!
All:
Puppies!!!!!
(All the cookies scream and scatter as the puppies enter. )

Does puppy want a cookie?
(All the puppies whimper and beg.)
Gingerbread Girl 4 & 5 (Ruth & Annie): (To the boy) What, are you crazy?
Gingerbread Boy 3 (Mason): (Showing the dog a bone)
Or would you rather have a bone?
(All puppies get very excited.)

(He tosses a bone and all the puppies chase after it and go off stage.)
Gingerbread Boy 1 (Carter):
Wow! That was the most frightened I’ve ever felt!
Gingerbread Girl 2 (Lila):
I was so afraid I thought my icing would melt!
Gingerbread Girl 5 (Annie):
Listen everybody! I have something to say… .
I think we should reconsider the cookie exchange!
If we give it a chance it might not be so strange!
Gingerbread 4 (Ruth):
I agree! It might be time to try something new!
It’s good to get to know others who are not like you .
Gingerbread Girl 5 (Annie)::
You mean a macaroon might become friends with a whoopie pie?
Gingerbread 2 (Lila):
You’ll never know unless you give it a try!
Gingerbread Boy 1 (Carter):
The cookie exchange is happening now! Here come the new cookies and our new friends!
Song 4: New Friends
New friends aren’t so hard to take .
New friends aren’t so hard to make .
All you have to do is show them you are kind . And new friends won’t be hard to find.
New friends, all along the way .
New friends, brighten every day .
All you have to do is show that you are true, And the new friends will be true to you .
Loo loo, loo loo loo loo loo….
(Dialog over loos)
Fortune Cookie (Zoe):
I don’t know why I was so afraid .
It’s fun to widen your circle of friends!
Gingerbread Girl 2 (Lila):
You are all the sweetest cookies I could ever ask for! (Blows a big kiss) Mwahh!
Fortune Cookie (Crosby):
That’s true! I’m learning that it’s not so much what’s on the outside of friends but what’s in your middle that really counts .
Gingerbread 3 (Ruth):
Me too! At the cookie exchange I’ll bet we find out we’re not so different after all.
All Sing:
New friends, all along the way .
New friends, brighten every day .
All you have to do is show that you are true,
And the new friends will be true to you .
True to you .
Scene 5: The Return of the Puppies!
Gingerbread Girl 2 (Lila):
I don’t know why I was frightened and scared . Friendship, like cookies, ought to be shared .
Gingerbread Boy 3 (Mason):
It’s nice to meet others who are not just like you . It’s nice to make a brand new friend or two .
Gingerbread Girl 4 & 5 (Ruth, Annie)::
But wait! I think the puppies are back .
They really love cookies and are on the attack!
(Puppies run in! Barking and yelping)
Puppies:
Who wants a cookie I wanna cookie! I can’t get enough!
Who wants a cookie? I wanna cookie! Ruff, ruff, ruff, ruff ….
Gingerbread Boy1 (Carter) & Girl2 (Lila):
(Stepping forward, showing them a “stop” hand and cutting them off)
Stay!
(The puppies freeze in their tracks.)
Gingerbread Boy1 (Carter) & Girl2 (Lila):
(With determination)
These are all my friends and you just can’t beat them . These are my friends and you just can’t eat them!
Puppies:
(All in puppy talk and look at each other and the audience)
Huh?
Gingerbread Girl 5 (Annie): (Hopefully and pointing offstage)
But I heard there’s bacon right over there!
Puppies:
Bacon? (Pause)
They run off chanting;
Who wants some bacon? I want some bacon!
And I want it now!
Who wants some bacon? I want some bacon!
