Participatory Stories & Songs: Soup & Thanksgiving
Asked about everyone's favorite kinds of soup, then opened with a very strange recipe:
Book: Monkey Soup by Louis Sachar (child makes her father a special kind of soup to help get him well – silly! -- Don't try this at home! )
Song/Flannel: "Alphabet Soup" by Tom Chapin (another silly recipe, reinforces alphabet, lyrics here: Soup's On)
Book: Mean Soup by Betsy Everitt (how to handle a "bad day" - could also make "Mean Cheerios!")
Mentioned today we are celebrating the Trenton Soup Kitchen - community feeding...
Interactive story with props (pot, puppets, & veggies): Stone Soup (Participatory storytelling, mentioned old story many variants – I use the Ann McGovern version with old lady and young man - script here: Soup's On)
Book/Cards/Song: Chicken Soup with Rice – Maurice Sendak, tune by Carole King from “Really Rosie” (audio & video available, concept: the names of the months, lyrics here: Soup's On)
Other possible books:
Growing Vegetable Soup by Lois Ehlert (vocabulary, non-fiction concepts of gardening & food prep)
“Piggy Back” Song/Action: This is the Way we… make the Soup reinforces sequencing)
Armadilly Chili by Helen Ketterman (Armadillo fails to get help from her friends in chili preparation but when they return with "sackfulls of apologies plus apple cider, cornbread, and brownies, she finds sharing dinner with friends is best of all. This is a folktale variant of "Little Red Hen"
That is NOT a Good Idea by Mo Willems
Soup Day by Melissa Iwai
Dumpling Soup by Jama Kin Rattigan
Last Stop on Market Street – Matt de la Pena -- grandmother & child travel on a bus to serve at a soup kitchen
