SuperVerse

Superbook Correction: Memorize the SuperVerse with a group activity.

Imagine a container that is packed with good things from God; so many that it overflows! In garments or robes worn in Bible times, there were no pockets. Instead, there was a large fold in a robe or garment that could be formed into a pouch to hold grain or other dry items that were purchased. The merchant or seller would pour the grain into the purchaser’s robe. This is what “pouring into your lap” most likely means in this verse.             

When we appreciate what God has given us, we want to share His blessings with as many people as possible.

Let’s read our SuperVerse together.  Luke 6:38: 

Have the children turn their heads, then lower and/or cover their eyes so they cannot see the board. Using the list below, change one word of the SuperVerse on the board at a time to alter the meaning of the verse, then have the children look at the board and raise their hands to tell you what word should be fixed. Write in the correct word and then repeat the process. Vary the order of the list to make it more challenging. As they become familiar with the verse, erase more than one word at a time. 

• Change “Give” to “Take”
• Change “receive” to “lose”
• Change “gift” to “grief”
• Change “full” to “half”
• Change “pressed” to “turned”
• Change “together” to “apart”
• Change “more” to “less”
• Change “running” to “skipping”
• Change “over” to “out”
• Change “lap” to “lamp”
• Change “Luke” to “Leviticus”

God wants us to share with others; when we do He will give back to us here, in heaven, or both places! Let’s say the SuperVerse together again— with the correct words. Luke 6:38:

If children cannot memorize the SuperVerse, be sure they understand its meaning. Remind them to keep working on the verse at home.
