Write the SuperVerse, including the reference, on the board.
Let’s say our SuperVerse together. Esther 4:14b:
“Who knows if perhaps you were made queen for just such a time as this?”
Now, we’ll play a game to help us learn our SuperVerse today. What must the king hold out to Esther before she could talk with him? A scepter.
Hold up the scepter. Very good! And I have one to use in this activity. Whoever I point to with my scepter should say one word of our SuperVerse!
Have the children stand in a line. Point the scepter at the first child in the line, who will say the first word of the verse. Continue going down the line, pointing at each child, until the entire SuperVerse has been said or until all children have had a chance to say a word. Children may look at the board if they need help remembering a word.
For the next round, quickly point to various children—not in order—who should immediately say the next word, until the verse is finished. If time allows, repeat the game, allowing children to take turns using the scepter. Praise them each time the verse has been completed correctly.
