Pre-Activity Prep:

Check out a “Stone Soup” book from the library. Gather the materials listed above or the ones from your version of the book. Cook the soup ingredients thoroughly.

Transition:

You should start off having the children sitting on the carpet where you will read to them. A transition will be needed after you read so the children can quietly move to their desks. I personally play the “clean up” song because they are familiar with it.

Introduction:

You should introduce the book to the children.

Learning Procedure:

1. Remind children to use their manners and raise their hands instead of calling out. Explain to them the consequences.
   
2. Proceed with the lesson by reading the
   
   Stone Soup
   
   book.
   
3. Ask them if they would like to eat stone soup?
   
4. With your dry erase board and marker write at the top of the board “Shopping List.”
   
5. Explain to them that you must go to the store to buy the ingredients for the soup. Ask them to help you write the shopping list by raising their hands.
   
6. If the ingredient they tell you was in the book, then proceed to write it on the board under “shopping list.”
   
7. After you write the list, have the children help you pour the earlier prepared ingredients into the crockpot.
   
8. Have each child return to his/her desk to enjoy a nice bowl of soup.

Closure:

Ask the children questions pertaining to their stone soup such as: “Did the soup really taste like stones?”
