Write the SuperVerse on the board—Hebrews 11:23 (NLT):

It was by faith that Moses’ parents hid him for three months when he was born. They saw that God had given them an unusual child, and they were not afraid to disobey the king’s command.

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

God had a plan for Moses’ life. Even when he was a baby, his parents recognized that God’s hand was upon him and that he would do something special for God. Little did they know that the baby they held and cared for would grow up to rescue the Israelites from captivity and slavery in Egypt!

When Pharaoh gave the wicked command to throw baby boys into the river, Moses’ parents fearlessly disobeyed. Instead, they trusted God and hid their baby from Pharaoh for three months. God can use anyone and anything to accomplish His will and protect His people.

For this activity, I am going to hide words in the verse, and then you will raise your hands to tell me what word is hidden.

Let’s read the SuperVerse on the board together. Hebrews 11:23:

It was by faith that Moses’ parents hid him for three months when he was born. They saw that God had given them an unusual child, and they were not afraid to disobey the king’s command.

Have the children lower their heads or cover their eyes so they cannot see the board. “Hide” one word at a time by holding up the index card to cover it, then have the children look at the board and raise their hands to tell you what word is hidden. Repeat this with different words. As they become familiar with the verse, hide more than one word at a time to make it more challenging. Afterward, ask if any children would like to volunteer to try to say the verse from memory. If children cannot memorize the SuperVerse, be sure they understand its meaning. Remind them to keep working on the verse at home.
