Make one copy of each SuperVerse Cards pages—nine sheets total.

Cut apart the 18 cards from the 9 sheets.

Use painters tape or masking tape to tape the cards to the wall in order from left to right.

For larger classes, make two sets of cards and divide the class in half. Choose an assistant to lead the activity with the second group.

Let’s read the SuperVerse on the cards. 1 Corinthians 3:16:

All of you surely know that you are God’s temple and that His Spirit lives in you.

In the Old Testament, God’s Spirit came upon individuals, enabling them to do mighty works for Him. After Jesus rose up to heaven, God sent the gift of His Spirit to live inside Christ’s followers.

Have children stand to face the board.

Have them turn around with their backs to the board before you remove a card or cards.

Remove a card and have the children turn around to face the board.

Have children raise their hands if they know what word is missing.

Choose a child to answer. If correct, replace the card and repeat the process. If incorrect, choose another child to answer.

As children become familiar with the game and verse, remove two or more cards at a time in random places.

Optional: to conclude the activity, remove all of the cards and call on children to say one word at a time to complete the verse.   

Conclusion: Great job everyone. Remember, we are God’s Temple and the Holy Spirit lives in us, so we take Him everywhere we go! Because He is in us, we are empowered to do mighty things for God!

Let’s say the verse together now. 1 Corinthians 3:16:

All of you surely know that you are God’s temple and that His Spirit lives in you.
