Write the SuperVerse on the board—Matthew 6:33:
Make one copy of the Philip Superverse Cards on cardstock for each team of two children, plus extras.
Cut the ten individual cards from a page and shuffle them. Place the cards in a bag.
Repeat this for each set of cards—do not mix the sets.
Seeking God’s kingdom first means to make the things of God most important in our lives. It means desiring to live according to His Word and His will more than anything else. When we do this, God promises to meet all of our needs. Seeking the kingdom of God is putting Jesus at the forefront of your thoughts and allowing Him to be Lord of your lives. When we do that, everything else will fall into its proper place.
This SuperVerse is about placing things in the proper order. And that is what we will do in this activity to help us learn the verse.
Divide the children into teams of two. Try to pair older and younger children together. Give each team a bag of cards and have them find a place to sit together. Teams will empty their bag of cards in a pile on the floor. Say “Go!” and have the teams assemble the verse in the correct order. The first team to assemble the verse in order and stand up wins. Teams continue this way until all teams are standing.
If time permits, erase the SuperVerse from the board, shuffle the cards and play again.
If children cannot memorize the SuperVerse, be sure they understand its meaning. Remind them to keep working on the verse at home.
