Superbook Action: Memorize the SuperVerse with a group activity.
Jeremiah was called by God to be a prophet to the nations. He was appointed to stand up against kings and nations. God promised to protect Jeremiah, yet the Lord also told him that he must do his part. Jeremiah must be alert, bold, and not afraid of those who opposed him. As representatives and servants of God, we are also called to stand for Him. God will protect us, yet we must not be careless. We must be alert and follow the leading of the Holy Spirit as He directs and empowers us to live for God—even when others don’t.
Divide the class into groups of four children. Try to mix older and younger children together, if possible. Have each group find a different place in the room to meet for several minutes. Tell the groups to come up with four different actions to represent the four commands or instructions in the SuperVerse. They may assign one instruction to each child, or all the members of the group can do the motions together.
Gather all the children and have each group perform the verse for the rest of the class. Then, have everyone say the verse together, with all of the groups performing their various actions.
Conclusion: Let us always walk with wisdom and in step with the Holy Spirit as we take a stand for God.
