Girls' 1st Bible Quiz

Annah and Sylvia are participating in the church Bible quizzing team this year.  They have enjoyed working through their quizzing book and going to practice every Wednesday night, and most of all learning some of the great stories of the Bible.  They are working through the books of Joshua, Judges, and soon Ruth.

We weren't able to attend the year's first quiz in December, so today's quiz at our church was the first for them.  We had started out working on their quizzing "dig sites" in their workbooks at breakfast, but had fallen behind.  So this week, we worked through all 15 stories that would be included in the quiz.  I guess you'd call it cramming, but we studied at breakfast, supper, and after supper a couple nights.  They worked pretty hard to understand the stories, and were excited about the quiz today!

waiting for the "Red Level" (multiple choice) quizzing to start...

They did 3 rounds of 15 questions today.  (The bottom picture here shows only one side of the gym.  There were probably 40+ quizzers in Red Level today.)

"Answer!"

For part of the quiz, I ran the question PowerPoint and could see what the kids answers were.  Annah & Sylvia missed a few answers I thought they actually knew, but they seemed to be doing well overall.  Caeden was checking to see if they got them right each time, and was so excited when they did.  He even knew some of the answers himself, and I had to keep him from saying them out loud so the kids close to us could hear.

At the awards ceremony, both Annah and Sylvia were awarded medals for being in the top 10 quizzers of the day!  They were really excited and surprised! 

They sure enjoyed their first quiz, decided all the studying was definitely worth it, and can't wait until the next quiz!  I was proud of them for sure, and so thankful they have this opportunity to really learn and understand God's Word at such young ages!
