Lazarus lives

The Letter Ll

Letter L Introduction

The “Intro” to “Lazarus lives” gives a brief overview of the core components found in a unit for the letter “Ll”.

The first of these components involves an adapted, narrated and illustrated “Story”. The last is an original “Song” in which the children are seen dramatically retelling the story. The other two components are instructional videos for manuscript “Handwriting”, and interactive “Craft” supporting the story.

Let's Tell The Story!

The storyteller’s narration and Free Bible images’ illustrations combine to make the adapted story “Lazarus lives” come alive for kids. This story about Jesus miraculously raising Lazarus from the dead (after he had been dead for four days!!) is part of the “Ll” unit in the 26 letter-related “A-Z Bible Stories” curriculum.

Images for this story can be found at freebibleimages.org/illustrations/jesus-lazarus/

The lyrics and original music created for the “Song” for “Lazarus lives” combine to draw attention to the retelling and revisiting of the Bible story.

Watch how the dramatized song makes the adapted story about Jesus miraculously raising Lazarus from the dead. The kids become engaged using costumes, props, and crafts come alive in a stage setting!

Get everyone to participate in retelling the story! Dress up with scarves, pillowcases, and sheets!

The lyrics are available on the downloadable Ll handwriting sheet.

It's Craft Time!

The “Craft” instructional video for “Ll” leads the viewer through the coloring of the downloadable maze for “Lazarus lives”.

Let's Practice Writing!

The “Handwriting” video for “Ll” (notice the letters “L” and “l” found in “Lazarus lives”) provides step-by-step instructions with likeable personalities naming the various line segments used in manuscript writing: Verty (vertical), Slanty (diagonal), Zontals (horizontal), and Curvy (curved).

Both correct hand position and the distinction between upper and lower case letters are emphasized.

A downloadable resource worksheet includes the words to the story’s song and an illustration.
