SuperVerse

  • Whiteboard or chalkboard
  • Markers or chalk 
  • Eraser
  • Bible or the Superbook Bible App

Write the SuperVerse, including the reference, on the board. Hebrews 11:6:

But without faith no one can please God. We must believe that God is real and that He rewards everyone who searches for Him.

Our SuperVerse today is Hebrews 11:6:

But without faith no one can please God. We must believe that God is real and that He rewards everyone who searches for Him.

Today, our lesson is about living a life that is pleasing to the Lord. As we know, faith is required by all of us; we must believe God is real. Think about this; would it be wise to live trying to please someone we weren’t sure was real? 

God wants us to believe in Him by faith, and to trust that He has the power and the desire to reward us with His presence for searching and finding Him!    

Divide the children into two teams: boys versus girls if possible, and have each team sit together. To begin, have the children slowly read the SuperVerse from the board twice 

We are going to play a quick little game. Turn around with your backs to the board and close your eyes. This game is like faith, because faith believes something exists even when it cannot be seen. I will begin to read the SuperVerse from the board and stop. You will quickly shout out the next word of the verse. The team that does this first receives a point.

Have children face away from the board and close their eyes. Read the SuperVerse slowly and stop at different words, then see which team shouts the next word correctly. Record points on the board after each turn. Pay close attention to which team shouted the word first, especially if the first answer was incorrect. In that case, allow the other team one chance to correctly answer.

After children become familiar with the game, you may add to the challenge by telling them to shout the next two or three words of the verse each time. The team with the most points wins. 

Great job everyone! We please God when we have faith in Him! By faith, we believe that God is real even though we don’t see Him. God is pleased with those who have faith in Him and obey His word!
