Are You Superstitious?
Today is Friday, the 13th. Do you believe in superstitions? How about urban legends, like alligators in city gutters?
Why, or why not?
Are you superstitious about black cats?
How about walking under ladders?
Have you tossed salt over your shoulder for luck?
Do you think it is bad luck to kill a ladybug?
Have you ever broken a mirror?
What happens, if you open an umbrella indoors?
Do you believe a found penny can bring good luck?
What do you say, if someone sneezes?
Must you use a nickel to scratch off the numbers on lottery tickets?
Have you ever hung up a horseshoe for luck?
What’s wrong with eating Brussels sprouts?
Do you believe you have a lucky number?
If you step on a crack, will it break your mother’s back?
What does it mean to knock on wood?
How do you feel about Friday, the 13th?
Here’s Stevie Wonder’s “Superstition” performed on Sesame Street:

What do you think of these superstition quotes?
“I had only one superstition.
I made sure to touch all the bases
when I hit a home run.”
Babe Ruth
(George Herman)
American Baseball Star
(1895 – 1948)
“Security is mostly a superstition.
It does not exist in nature,
nor do the children of men as a whole experience it.
Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run
than outright exposure.
Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.”
Helen Keller
American Author
(1880 - 1968)
“No one is so thoroughly superstitious
as the godless man.”
Harriet Beecher Stowe
American Author
(1811 – 1896)
