Print SuperVerse Card Patterns on cardstock. You need one Pattern of six cards per group of two or three children, depending on the size of the class.
There must be an even number of groups so both Sheets 1 and 2 are in play.
Cut apart the individual cards for each sheet and place each set of six cards in an envelope or small plastic bag.
Use the pen or marker to write #1 or #2 on each envelope or bag, corresponding to the sheet number. Write the numbers as small as possible so the children cannot easily see them.
Read Genesis 11:5:
But the Lord came down to look at the city and the tower the people were building.
God took notice of the tower and city being built. He sees everything that happens on Earth. Nothing big or small escapes God’s eyes. When people come together in unity, it is a powerful force that can accomplish good or bad things. Once the people saw what they could accomplish, God knew they would not stop planning projects to make a name for themselves.
Let’s say our SuperVerse together. Genesis 11:6:
He said: “These people are working together because they all speak the same language. This is just the beginning. Soon they will be able to do anything they want.”
Divide the children into groups of two or three children. Adjust group sizes so you have an even number of groups.
Remove a set of six cards from a #1 bag and give to a group without allowing them to see the number on the bag.
Repeat this with a set of six cards from a #2 bag.
Continue giving out bags of#1 and #2 cards, making sure you end by giving a #2 bag. This ensures that you have complete sets of the SuperVerse to build.
When you say Go, each group works to find another group with the other cards they need to build the complete verse.
The children in those two groups then work together to form a line and hold up the cards in the correct order. The first team to do this wins.
Allow the other groups to complete their verses.
Great job working in unity to complete the verse! You could not complete the task without communicating and working together for the same purpose! Let’s say our SuperVerse all together! Genesis 11:6:
He said: “These people are working together because they all speak the same language. This is just the beginning. Soon they will be able to do anything they want.”
