SuperVerse

Whiteboard and marker; or chalkboard and chalk
Eraser
Marker
Bibles or the Superbook Bible App

Write the SuperVerse on the board as written below:

1. May He equip you with all you need for doing His will.

2. May He produce in you, through the power of Jesus Christ,

3. Every good thing that is pleasing to Him.

4. Hebrews 13:21

Place a piece of chalk or marker in your pocket or out of view.

Make sure that there are no other markers or chalk visible to use.

Ask a volunteer to write his/her name on the board. The volunteer will quickly realize that he/she cannot do what you’ve asked with nothing to write with.

Why couldn’t {volunteer name} do what I asked? There is no marker/chalk to write on the board.

Oh yes, you are correct, my mistake! Give the volunteer a marker/chalk and again ask the volunteer to write his/her name on the board.

The first time, I didn’t supply {volunteer name} with what was necessary to complete the task.

In other words, I didn’t properly equip him/her.

Our SuperVerse tells us that God equips us and produces in us all that we need to do His will and live according to His Word in the Bible. He won’t ask us to do something without equipping us to be successful.

Let’s look at the board and say together the SuperVerse, Hebrews 13:21:

May He equip you with all you need for doing His will. May He produce in you, through the power of Jesus Christ, every good thing that is pleasing to Him.

Divide the children into three groups and assign each a number: Group 1, Group 2, Group 3.

If possible, mix older and younger children in each group.

Have each group meet separately in a different area of the room where the board is visible.

Set a certain amount of time for the groups to learn and practice saying the line of the SuperVerse.

Encourage groups to be creative, such as assigning a few words to each member and/or saying the words in different styles or tones.

When the assigned time has elapsed, bring the groups together to say their line in order to complete the entire SuperVerse. Have all groups say Line #4 (Bible reference) together.

Repeat this two more times to help children learn the verse. Read the verse together one final time to end the activity.

ALTERNATE ACTIVITY:

Keep the children together in one large group. Have them read the verse on the board several times in different ways: shouting, whispering, speaking like a robot, etc. Then ask if any volunteers can say the verse without looking.

Note: Younger children may not be able to memorize the entire SuperVerse. They may simply repeat it several times, while older children may memorize part or all of it. Be sure all children understand its meaning.
