SuperVerse
- Bibles or the Superbook Bible App
- Chalkboard and chalk, whiteboard or poster board and marker
Write the SuperVerse as shown below on the board.
Say the SuperVerse together, Joshua 2:11, looking at the board.
“No wonder our hearts have melted in fear! ... For the Lord your God is the supreme God of the heavens above and the earth below.”
Can you remember who said these words? Rahab.
Yes, Rahab and the people of Jericho had heard about the many miracles that God had performed. Even though the city of Jericho was surrounded by tall walls, Rahab told the spies that the people were afraid and had no courage to fight the Israelites.
Divide the class into three groups. Assign each group a line from the SuperVerse below. Give them a couple of minutes to learn it and come up with simple motions to illustrate the words:
- Group 1: “No wonder our hearts have melted in fear!
- Group 2: For the Lord your God is the supreme God
- Group 3: of the heavens above and the earth below.”
- All groups: Joshua 2:11
Bring the groups together and have them stand facing each other in a “U” shape so they can see each other. Have the groups say their lines in order, doing the hand motion as they speak, with everyone giving the scripture reference at the end.
That was great! Let’s all say the SuperVerse and do all the motions that you came up with together! Everyone says the verse and does the hand motions together.
