Write the SuperVerse and reference on the board.
This verse is a warning written in love. We are God’s dear children and He wants us to guard our hearts so that nothing takes His place. 1 John 5:21:
Dear children, keep away from anything that might take God’s place in your hearts.
Have the girls form one line standing side by side, and the boys form another line facing the girls with several feet between the two lines. Start the time. The first girl on one end will shout the first word of the SuperVerse, then the first boy directly across from her will shout the next word. Continue in a girl/boy alternating pattern until the entire SuperVerse is shouted. Stop the time and record it on the board.
Start another round with the next child in line. Record the times and continue as time allows, doing it in the fastest time possible. Children may look at the board as needed. If the ratio of girls to boys is too uneven, mix the sides as necessary. If the class is small and the entire SuperVerse is not completed when all children have shouted, continue with the first child again.
