Word Work: Miracle 5 minutes
- In the read-aloud you heard, “[The] miracle [of Jesus coming
back to life after he died] is why Christians all around the
world celebrate Easter.” - Say the word miracle with me.
- A miracle is something truly fantastic—extraordinary, nearly
unbelievable. - I think that it is a miracle that no one was hurt in the
earthquake. - What do you think is a miracle? Try to use the word miracle
when you tell about it. [Ask two or three students. If
necessary, guide and/or rephrase the students’ responses: “To
me, it is a miracle that.. .”] - What’s the word we’ve been talking about?
Use an Imagination activity for follow-up. Directions: Turn and talk
to your partner. Pretend that you could ask for a miracle to be
performed and that your wish for the miracle would be granted.
What would that miracle be? Be sure to use the word miracle and
explain why it would be a miracle.
