SuperVerse
- Whiteboard and marker; or chalkboard and chalk
- Eraser
- Bibles or the Superbook Bible App
Write the SuperVerse in the center of the board, leaving room at the top of the board to add words, if it isn’t already on the board from Game.
Let’s read our SuperVerse on the board together. Luke 10:27b:
“You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your mind.” And, “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
The Bible tells us to love God above anything or anyone. Yet that is not all we are required to do. Who else must we love? Our neighbor.
Yes, and who have we learned is our neighbor? Everyone.
Let’s read our SuperVerse twice more together. Luke 10:27b:
“You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your mind.” And, “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
Write: love, heart, soul, strength, mind, and neighbor in random order at the top of the board, then erase these words from the verse. Now, read the verse and stop at each space where a word was erased. Have the children raise their hands to fill in the words. If someone answers incorrectly, call on another child until the correct word is given. Now, erase the words on the top of the board and do the activity again, stopping at each space and having children supply the missing words from memory.
You did really well learning this long verse! Let’s all love God with our total person and also be on the lookout for ways to show others His love.
Younger children may not be able to memorize the entire SuperVerse. Be sure all children understand its meaning.
