Bible Quizzing is the Scripture memory counterpart to
the physical, game-oriented AwanaGames™. Both use the
element of competition as a motivating factor.
Bible Quizzing is open to young people in third through
12th grade. This event motivates students to increase
their Bible knowledge while giving participants, leaders
and even parents an intense exposure to Scripture. Bible
Quizzing tests students’ knowledge of material in
handbooks and manuals and provides individual
recognition and awards.
National Bible Quizzing brings together teams of high
school students from across the country to compete for
the Summit championship. Students answer questions based
on material taught during the year in Journey 24-7. A
college scholarship is given to each member of the
winning Bible Quiz team.
Bible Quizzing stimulates Scripture memorization and
review at every club and youth program level. It also
motivates students to stay up-to-date in their handbooks
and manuals. Young people memorize more verses, complete
more handbooks and comprehend more Bible truths with the
incentive of making their church’s Bible Quiz team and
competing for honors at the local, regional and national
level. As students spend more time preparing for Bible
Quizzing, their parents also become exposed to the
truths of God’s Word. Bible Quizzing also promotes
fellowship between Awana programs in the same church as
well as other Awana-registered churches.
Depending on the type of competition and club level
involved, two basic types of questions can be used with
variations. (Note: Quizzing competitions vary by region
and are not run the same in all areas. Consult your
missionary for local rules.)
1. Speed quizzing is a tense, fast-action event which
works well with older students. Questions used are
open-ended. The first student to respond is given a
chance to answer the question.
2. Multiple choice is used with younger clubbers. The
quizmaster asks a question and then reads a list of
possible answers in a multiple-choice format. Each
quizzer has paddles with letters on them. The clubbers
raise the appropriate paddle to display their answer.
