Junior Bible Quizzing

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki



Bible quizzing is a program in which kids ages 6–18 get to participate in learning The Bible and they are tested on it. Junior bible quizzers age from age nine to grade 6. Each time that they are tested or quizzed on it, it called a quiz. Quizzes for junior quizzers have 15 questions. Quizzes are 15 questions long and can range from very short, to very long amounts of time. When the quiz starts, there are two teams. A red team and a yellow team. There are usually 2 judges, one quizmaster (the person that asks the questions), and one score keeper. There are three kinds of points that you can get during quizzing 10 pointers, 20 pointers and 30 pointers. The amount of points a question is determined my how hard the question is. The way that a quizzer is called is by buzzing in by using buzzers. Buzzers are connected to a wire that is connected to a computer that knows which person has buzzed in and the computer calls out who buzzed in. There are six types of questions. Quotation questions, location questions, and quotation completion questions, cross-reference quotation questions, cross-reference location questions, and direct questions. There are actually a lot more than six types of questions but they are little spin-offs of the other ones.

Quotation Questions[edit]

A quotation question is when the quizmaster gives the reference (or location) of the verse, then the quizzer has to quote the verse that was referenced.

EX: Quiz master: Yellow one? (It can be and number out of these numbers R=red Y=yellow; R1, R2, R3, Y1, Y2, Y3)

Quiz master: Quote Proverbs chapter 4 verse 18. (the quizzer buzzes in)

Quizzer: The path of the just is as the shining light which shineth more and more until the perfect day.

Location Questions[edit]

Location questions are where you locate the verse that was quoted by the quizmaster.

EX: Quizmaster: The proverbs of Solomon... (the quizzer buzzes in)

Quizzer: the son of David, King of Israel. (After the quizzer has finished the question, they now must give the answer.)

Quizzer: Proverbs chapter one, verse one.

Quotation Completion[edit]

The next type of question is a quotation completion question. The quizmaster starts quoting a verse, and the Quizzer has to buzz in and finish the verse.

EX: Quizmaster: To know wisdom and... (the quizzer buzzes in) Quizzer: instruction, to perceive the words of understanding.

Quotation Cross-References[edit]

The next type of question is a quotation cross-reference question. This question lives true to his name. In quotation cross-reference questions you are quoting two or more verses. They are usually looking for similarities like the word Solomon. EX:

Quizmaster: Quote the two verses of our studies that contain the word Solomon (the quizzer buzzes in)

Quizzer: (verse 1) The Proverbs of Solomon the son of David King of Israel. (verse 2) The Proverbs of Solomon a wise son maketh a glad father, but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.

Location Cross-References[edit]

The next type of question is the location cross-reference question. It is basically the same as a quotation cross-reference question but in location form EX:

Quizmaster: Locate the two verses that contain the phrase "the fear of the Lord" (the quizzer buzzes in)

Quizzer: Proverbs 1:7 and Proverbs 9:10

Direct Questions[edit]

The final type of question is the direct question. It is kind of like a fill in the blank thing.

EX:

Quizmaster: Trust in whom with all thy what according to Proverbs chapter 3 verse 5. (the quizzer buzzes in)

There are two ways to answer this question. You can either quote the entire verse (that only applies in beginner or Junior Quizzing) or you can just say the words that were left out.

EX 1: Quizzer: Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding.

EX 2: Quizzer: The Lord, heart

Interrupting[edit]

A way that quizzers can buzz in before the quizmaster finishes the question is called interrupting. If a quizzer interrupts, they have to finish the question roughly in the way that the quizmaster would have finished it. This skill of interrupting takes logic. For example, if the Quizmaster said Quote verse 45... You could interrupt right here because if you only have one chapter in you studies that has 45 verses in it, (say it is chapter 1) you could interrupt right as the quizmaster says 45. So you could finish the interrupted question by saying, of Proverbs chapter 1. Here is that in speaking form.

Quizmaster: Quote verse 45... (the quizzer interrupts the question)

Quizzer: ...of Proverbs chapter 1

That would be a perfect interrupted quotation question

Senior Quizzing[edit]

There is one big difference in senior quizzing compared to junior quizzing. When the quizzer has a verse with a he or she, they have to say the person that the he or she is referring to.

Quizmaster: Quote Proverbs chapter 2 verse 4 (the quizzer buzzes in)

Quizzer: If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures. Her referring to wisdom. Every time that the quizmaster is looking for something more in junior quizzing you can just quote the verse, but in senior quizzing you can only do that n a quotation or quotation cross-reference question.
