Leader Guide

SuperVerse

Superbook Pop up: Memorize the SuperVerse with a group activity.

The SuperVerse is what Joshua and Caleb told the Israelites when the people believed the bad report of the ten spies instead of believing God. The people were so full of fear that they wanted to choose a new leader and travel back to Egypt, where they had been slaves! Joshua and Caleb wanted the people to see by faith, not by sight!       

Let’s all read the SuperVerse together from the board. Numbers 14:9: 

Divide children into two equal groups. Have each group sit on chairs (or on the floor) side-by-side, facing the other team. Start by saying the SuperVerse together aloud.

Explain that the first player on each team will stand and shout the first word of the SuperVerse at the same time, then quickly sit down. The second player on each team will then quickly stand and shout the second word at the same time, and so on. Both teams should finish at the same moment, then everyone shouts the reference: Numbers 14:9. The next player in each group then begins the verse over again. Repeat as often as time allows, trying to go faster with each round. Children may look at the board as necessary. Once the teams know the verse, erase it from the board and continue. If children cannot stand, have them raise their hands as they shout their words.
