Children’s Bible Quizzing
What is it?
Children’s Bible Quizzing is a six-year Bible study program with a competition
element, designed for children in grades 1-6. Children’s quizzing incorporates a variety of activities
to help children immerse themselves in scripture learning what life was like in Bible times. Children
will build their spiritual vocabulary, learn Characteristics of God, and also learn and discover new
facts about the world during Bible times.
When do we meet?
Children’s quizzing is ran through both the local church and the district.
Each local church will decide when to meet for their team and we come together as a district 5
times throughout the school year to “compete” against each other! Quizzes are held at both area
churches on the district and at the district campground. *See attached flyer for next year’s quizzing
dates and information about quizzing this year with Covid-19*
What are we studying? This year (2020-2021) we will be studying the book of Exodus with the
general theme being “Follow the Leader!” We will once again join Dr. Digalot and Canteen as we
“time travel” to Bible times to follow with Moses and the Israelites as God, our Leader, rescues them
from Egypt.

Plans are still in the making as to how this quiz will actually look (regionally, district, etc) and will be confirmed as we move throughout the year and we see how the trend of Covid-19 is heading.
PLEASE NOTE: As we move forward with our quiz year, I know things are very fluid. We are going to try to meet together for our quiz meets as much as possible with the understanding that we will also most likely have a virtual option as a back up plan and also for those who are sick or just feel safer quizzing at home. We will continue to monitor and follow state guidelines as we move forward. Please contact me with any questions or concerns!
