Everyday, teachers go beyond lessons and books to create moments that help kids think, laugh, and connect. A simple joke or a quick game can turn into a memory that stays for years.

In one classroom, a teacher found a fun way to bring smiles by asking her students a playful riddle about a rich bird.

The short video starts with the teacher telling her students, “Pencils away, it’s time for the joke of the day.” She asks them, “What do you call a rich bird?”

The students jump right in with their guesses. One student says, “Richard.” Another one tries, “A Richin, like a pigeon.” A third student guesses, “Robin because he’s robbing banks.”

They even suggest funny ideas like “Jeff Bezos” and “Blue Jonaire,” mixing a blue jay and a millionaire. The teacher listens and laughs with them, enjoying their creative answers. Finally, she gives the punchline: “An ostrich.”

The whole class bursts out laughing at the unexpected answer.

Verse of the Day

“For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.”

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
