SuperVerse

  • Bibles or the Superbook Bible App
  • Whiteboard and marker; or chalkboard and chalk
  • Eraser

Write the SuperVerse in large letters on the board.

Let’s say the SuperVerse together. 2 Chronicles 16:9a:

"For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him.”

Our SuperVerse tells us that God is always watching for ways to strongly support and strengthen those who are loyal to Him. The word loyal means to be committed, true, and faithful to Him. When we put Him first in our lives, we can be sure that we are under God’s watchful eyes, and that He is ready to protect and help us. He is always on our side and ready to support us.

Let’s learn our SuperVerse with some simple hand motions today.

First: Say and do the motions for each phrase, having the children repeat after you.

  • “For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro Place one hand over eyes like a salute, and turn head side to side.
  • throughout the whole earth Both hands make a large circle.
  • to show Himself strong Flex arm muscles.
  • on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him.”  Place one hand over heart and point to sky with other hand. 

Second: Say the verse and do motions together a little faster.

Third: Erase a middle section of the verse from the board. Begin to say the verse with the children, but stop at the deleted phrase to see if the children can say it without you.

Fourth: Erase other sections of the verse and continue as above until children can say the entire verse and do all the motions without any help.

Note: Younger children may not be able to memorize the entire SuperVerse. They may simply repeat it several times, while older children may memorize part or all of it. Be sure all children understand its meaning.
