What is Children’s Bible Quizzing?

Children’s Quizzing is a Bible Study for children in grades 1-6. The goal of Children’s Bible Quizzing is for children to know the God of the Bible through study and competition.  Each child challenges himself or herself to reach award levels. In this approach, children quiz against a base of knowledge, not each other. The multiple-choice method of competition allows every child to answer every question. This approach makes it possible for every child to score a perfect score.

What is the Philosophy and Purpose of Children’s Bible Quizzing?

The philosophy of Children’s Quizzing is Bible study. It is important to help children know what the Bible says and help them demonstrate biblical teachings in actual life situations. 
The purpose of Children’s Quizzing Bible study and competition is to help children:

  • Discover how to study the Bible.
  • Desire to study the Bible.
  • Grow in understanding of the overall chronology of the Bible.
  • Learn that God is the central character and Hero of the Bible.
  • Gain increased understanding of God as He is revealed in each study.
  • Understand how people in the Bible interacted with God, and know how people today may do so also.
  • Enjoy quizzing competition.
  • Grow in the ability to reflect Christian attitudes and behaviors during competition.

What are children studying for the 2010-2011 school year?

Children will study 1 and 2 Samuel.  These books show the Israelite people disillusioned with the Lord as their King, and their desire to have a king “like the other nations.” Samuel, Saul, and David are introduced. Children learn how Jerusalem became the center of Jewish religion.
