SuperVerse Game

Let’s say the SuperVerse together. Job 19:25:

“But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives, and He will stand upon the earth at last.”

Great! That will help you play our next game.

Divide the class into groups of 2 or 3. Pair younger children who are weak readers with older children. Have each group sit on the floor in different sections of the room so they are as far apart from each other as possible. Give each group a pair of children’s scissors and a SuperVerse Cards pattern; have them cut apart the cards, scramble them, then give them to you. Shuffle all the groups’ cards together, then pass out eight cards to each group, along with a sheet of construction paper.

Give them about 30 seconds to build as much of the SuperVerse as possible from the cards they have, placing them in order on their sheet of construction paper. These cards are “safe” and cannot be taken by any other group. Extra cards should be spread out on the floor, words facing up.   

Groups then send out one player at a time to hunt for a card to help complete their SuperVerse. At least one player per group must stay with their cards. The “hunter” can only pick up one card and take it back to the team, then the next player from that group goes on the hunt. As cards are brought back, players put them in order on the construction paper. If a hunter brings a card that is not needed, it must be placed on the floor with that team’s other extra cards for another team to find. The first team to complete their verse and raise their hands wins! The game should continue until all teams have successfully built their SuperVerse.
