Verse Volley

  • Whiteboard and marker, or chalkboard and chalk
  • Beach ball or foam ball
  • Timer, such as a stopwatch, clock or watch with second hand, or timer app
  • Bibles or the Superbook Bible App

Write the entire SuperVerse on the board including the Scripture reference.

Nehemiah 2:20:

“The God of heaven will help us succeed. We, His servants, will start rebuilding this wall.”

Have children form two lines, facing each other about 10 feet apart and perpendicular to the board. Hand the ball to a child on an end. The child shouts the first word of the SuperVerse and then passes the ball to the child directly across, on the other team. That child catches the ball, shouts the next word of the verse, and passes the ball to the next child on the opposite team. Continue until the entire SuperVerse is completed. Play an additional round starting with a child at a different end and challenge the children to do it faster.

Conclusion: As Chris learned in our video—when we face difficult challenges, we do what we can and trust God to do the rest!
