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

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.

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!

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.
