Economics in a Bowl: Soup and Children's Literature


Lynne Stover

James Madison University Center for Economic Education

Join us for a workshop that blends the warmth of storytelling with essential economic concepts. This session celebrates beloved children’s literature featuring soup-themed stories that foster lessons about sharing, community values, and creative problem-solving. Educators will explore how to incorporate key economic principles, including goods and services, productive resources, and the allocation of limited resources into their classrooms.


Featured titles include: “Stone Soup”, “Soup Day”, “Who Grew My Soup?" and “Uncle Willie and the Soup Kitchen.”
 

Target Audience: K-2, 3-5
