2. Read The Doorbell Rang for children to become acquainted with the events in the story.
3. Invite the children to role-play the characters in the story: Mom has a plate with 12 cookies. Divide the cookies between the children as they appear in the story.
4. At the end of the story, have "grandma" come in with a tray of another 12 to 24 cookies.
5. Divide the cookies between children. Talk about how many cookies each child has each time the doorbell rings.
