Literacy Snack Idea Stone Soup

October 31, 2018

Grab the FREE printable and see the snack idea to use with Stone Soup. It's a fun Literacy Snack Idea Stone Soup read-aloud  for any time of the school year!

November is a great time to teach about community, working together and being thankful. For this week’s literacy snack idea, we’re reading Stone Soup, by Jon J Muth.

“Three strangers, hungry and tired, pass through a war-torn village. Embittered and suspicious from the war, the people hide their food and close their windows tight. That is until the clever strangers suggest making a soup from stones. Intrigued by the idea, everyone brings what they have until– together, they have made a feast fit for a king!”

Most students can relate to the feast the people are having in the story this time of year. Family members bringing dishes to come together for Thanksgiving.

So for our snack this week, we’re making our own stone soup.

Ingredients

There are a couple different ways that you could make the soup. You can ask your students to each bring in a different item to help make the soup, or you can just pick up the ingredients on your own which is what I did today. Depending on which version of Stone Soup you are reading, you may want to change up the ingredients a bit.

In our soup, we used

a bag of frozen peas

a bag of shredded cabbage

a box of vegetable broth

2 cups of water

mushrooms

half of an onion diced

3 carrots chopped

salt

pepper

a stone that you have cleaned thoroughly

crockpot

bowls & spoons for tasting

stone soup ingredients

Assemble

Have a student carefully place the clean stone in a crockpot to start the soup. Have the other students help combine all of the other ingredients in a crockpot and set on high for 4 hours.

When the soup is done, it’s time for tasting! Ladle a bit of soup into a bowl for each student to try.

While they are tasting their stone soup the class has made together, I made a free printable for them to work on alongside it.  They get to color the pictures of the items that the class added to make the stone soup.

    I am really excited to use this Stone Soup printable – thank-you so much for sharing it!!! (I’m writing from near Toronto, Canada where we are in our 3rd lockdown. I’ve been homeschooling my 3 sons, ages 9, 6 and 4 for about a year now, due to the pandemic and am new to all these wonderful ideas). We’ve just started a rock unit and this is the perfect story idea. Thanks again for this fun and creative resource!
