- Whiteboard and marker or chalkboard and chalk
Write the SuperVerse on the board: Isaiah 40:31:
Those who trust in the LORD will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles.
They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.

Let’s say the SuperVerse aloud together:
Isaiah 40:31:
Eagles are often mentioned in the Bible, which describes them as swift and powerful—good hunters that soar and ascend to great heights. Eagles are also known to be fiercely protective of their young.
In Exodus 19:4, God even mentioned eagles when He described how He rescued the Israelites from Egypt. He says that He carried them on eagles’ wings and brought them to Himself. In the verses just before the SuperVerse, Isaiah says that God never grows weak or weary; He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless. He goes on to say that even the youths will grow tired and become exhausted, but by trusting in God, they will find new strength. (See Isaiah 40:28–30.)
It’s great to be young like you are, with lots of energy. But, no matter how much energy you have, everyone needs to rest. All of us face problems and struggles, and we all need to find rest.
God never sleeps or grows weary. He wants us to trust in Him and allow Him to strengthen us.
Divide the children into groups of three to five children. Try to mix older and younger children together, and assign an older child to be a leader. Have each group meet in a separate area of the room. Give the children a designated amount of time to come up with motions to fit the verse's words. Then have each group perform the motions they have come up with as everyone says the verse aloud. If any children are not able to memorize the entire verse, be sure they understand its meaning.
