Written by Brian Fong


Q. What'srepparttar right age to start giving a Bible quiz to my child?

A. The moment that she is able to recognize pictures or symbols. It's never too soon to start teaching a child about God, and a Bible quiz is an outstanding way to do it.

When most people think of a quiz they think of a series of written questions and multiple choice answers. While that may berepparttar 110184 way most quizzes work, there's no law that says it'srepparttar 110185 only way. And even if there is such a law, I,repparttar 110186 Great Quizmaster, hereby decree that such law is rescinded!

Even if a child cannot read, they are able to identify pictures, shapes, and colors very early. They also learn to listen, and reason, long before they even learn to talk. With this in mind, you can design a Bible quiz that appeals to any age group. Hey, why focus on just children? Anyone of any age will surely benefit from a Bible quiz.

The easiest way to design a Bible quiz for small children is to tie it in to an age appropriate Bible story. You can find pictures and drawings onrepparttar 110187 Internet that match concepts that were explained inrepparttar 110188 story. Printrepparttar 110189 pictures and paste them to a piece of paper. Then ask your child questions and have them point torepparttar 110190 picture that corresponds torepparttar 110191 question.

Asrepparttar 110192 child gets older you can replacerepparttar 110193 picture quiz with a standard Bible quiz that has questions which are appropriate forrepparttar 110194 child's reading level.
