Stone Soup is one of my all time favorite Creative Dramatics stories. I've used it consistently for the past 15 years of teaching children's theatre. You can check out my drama lesson plan for Stone soup here.
This lesson can be used as a reading extension and can be adapted for beginning readers up through upper elementary. I've even used the Stone Soup drama lesson for high schoolers with great results. Something about the story speaks to our deepest desires for real community and how we achieve that. It's a simple tale, but aren't the simplest tales often the ones that endure with simple truth.
Theatre and drama allow us to "act" together the story of life in all its diversity.
