New Programs
Starting A Program At Your Church
What you need to start:
An excited coach
The individual (or couple) looking to start quizzing sets the tone. A coach manages, strategizes, leads, and most of all encourages. It's important that the coach is excited about the program and youth memorizing God's Word.
Interested youth
Teams consist of up to 5 quizzers, so you'll want to look for at least 3-5 (or more) interested students. The ideal quizzer is dedicated, making a bigger commitment than just showing up. (Quizzing is very fun to get invested in!)
Committed parents
Parents are the ones encouraging day-to-day memorizing, listening to verses, and making quizzing a priority on the family schedule. Excellent quizzers have great support at home!
Equipment
You'll need quizzing benches/pads so your quizzers can practice and quizzing books so your quizzers can memorize. See the bottom of this page for equipment information.
How to run a practice
01
Start with a Bible study
First and foremost, quizzing is about getting youth into God's Word, helping them come to love and understand it better. Hold a Bible study on the week's passage at the beginning of each practice, turning rote memory into meaningful encouragement and teaching.
02
Have time for reciting verses
One on one time for quoting helps quizzers check their memory work for accuracy and gives coaches a chance to see how their quizzers are progressing. Quoting is an extremely important part of memorizing so make sure your quizzers are getting the chance to quote to someone outside of practice too!
03
Facilitate practice quizzes on the benches
Print out 15 question quizzes (check out the resources page for our question data base CBQZ) and go through them with your quizzers. Quizzing on the benches cements verses into the quizzers' minds, strengthens reflexes, and sharpens recall skills (plus is lots of fun!). It's very important to do practice quizzes so quizzers can be prepared for tournament quizzes.
