Write the SuperVerse on the board with numbered lines as shown. John 3:17:

1. God sent His Son into the world
2. not to judge the world
3. but to save the world through Him.

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

Our SuperVerse is John 3:17. Many of you know the verse just before it—John 3:16. Can anyone say it from memory?

“For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16 (NLT)

God could have sent Jesus into the world to condemn and punish it. But we just learned that He loved us so much that He sent Him as our Savior. He does not give us a rope or life jacket to save us—He gives us Himself. Jesus said in John 14:6 that He is the way, and no one can come to God except through Him. Our SuperVerse today is John 3:17.

Let’s read it from the board in three parts out loud together. Divide the class into three groups of mixed ages and gender. Assign a number (1–3) to each group and, if possible, appoint a leader who is in Grades 4–6 to lead the group. Have each group meet in a separate location in the room where they can still see the board. Give the teams about a minute to learn their specific line of the SuperVerse.

After the time is up, have the teams line up in a horizontal row from 1–3, facing the board. Have the teams say their lines aloud in the correct order to complete the SuperTruth two or three times. Erase the board and have the teams try to say the SuperVerse aloud from memory.

Variation: Have the teams say their part in a different voice such as whispering, boldly, normal voice, robot voice, etc. Teams will change their voice for each round.
