Write the SuperVerse on the board including the Scripture reference. Proverbs 9:10:
Fear of the Lord is the foundation of wisdom. Knowledge of the Holy One results in good judgement.
Let’s look at the board and say the SuperVerse together: Proverbs 9:10:
God is our loving heavenly Father, and we are to respect and obey Him. We need to follow His ways so we can grow in wisdom and understanding. When we ask Jesus to come into our hearts, His Spirit lives in us and helps us to make wise choices and use good judgment.
Have the children sit in front of the board. Say the SuperVerse aloud together. Have the children cover their eyes and/or look down as you erase a random keyword in the verse. Ask children to raise their hands to tell you what word has been erased, then write the word on the board again. Continue in this fashion for two more words, including the Bible reference. Then, begin to erase more than one word at a time at random places or erase entire phrases.
Conclude the activity by saying the verse aloud together, then erase the entire verse and try to say it as a group from memory.
If children cannot memorize the SuperVerse, be sure they understand its meaning. Remind them to keep working on the verse at home.
