Read the book aloud to the children. Discuss the story. After reading the book ask for volunteers to act the story out. Select children to be the parts of Ma, each of the children, and Grandma. Use 12 laminated construction paper cookies for props. If needed reteach the children "One for me, one for you," to reinforce the concept of fair shares. Extend this lesson with the following center activity. Cut out and laminate 12 construction paper cookies and 6 blank cards. Use a marker to program each of the cards with one of the following numerals: 1,2,3,4,6,12. Place the cookies and the cards in the center along with 12 small paper plates. A child draws a numeral card and places that many plates on the table. Then he/she divides all the cookies evenly among the plates.
