Children's Bible Quizzing
Kids learning God's Word together, and having a blast doing it.
What it is
Children's Bible Quizzing (the Church of the Nazarene calls it Kids Bible Quizzing) is a Bible study for children ages 5 through 12. Kids dig into one book of the Bible all season long, so they know what it says and can live it out in real life.
There are two levels:
- Red Level for children 5 to 8 years old
- Blue Level for children 9 to 12 years old
Every kid can win
Children don't compete against each other for one trophy. Each child works toward award levels (Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Gold All Star in the official rules). Questions are multiple choice, so every child answers every question, and every child can score a perfect score.
The quiz season generally follows the school year.

It's time for another adventure! A quest to discover hidden treasures. Join Kids Bible Quizzers from all over the world as we follow the footsteps of Moses. Dig deep into God's Word and discover the timeless truths hidden in the ancient words of the Scripture. Together we will dig up artifacts, uncover clues, and travel to famous locations like the Nile River, the Red Sea, and Mount Sinai. You might even find a burning bush or a few lost sandals on the way. You never know what you might discover as you follow the leader to where X always marks the spot. Get your friends, shovels, and Bibles, and come along for the quest. Kids Bible Quizzing is a powerful and exciting in-depth Bible study that focuses on the heart of God's Word. Join us as we discover how deeply God loves His people, way back in Exodus and all the way to today! Throughout the year, gather together with other quizzers to celebrate what you've learned, build friendships, develop confidence, and be rewarded for your hard work. These quiz meets are exciting and motivating, but the heart of the expedition remains: discovering how to love, understand, and live out God's Word. So don't delay! Contact your kids' ministry leader today, because it's time to prepare to join in the expedition and discover what treasure awaits you this year. And don't miss the final destination! All Bible Quizzers for this year's study of Exodus will be invited to a momentous celebration in Kansas City, Missouri on June 26, 2027: the General Assembly Kids Quiz. This is one treasure quest you don't want to miss.

Can your church host a practice meet?
Practice meets give kids experience quizzing alongside other churches before the big events at the end of the season. A host church needs two large rooms (one for Red Level, one for Blue Level) and the ability to provide lunch on campus.
Let district quizzing know if your church can host on November 21 or February 27.

This year's study is Exodus, a great year to start. You don't need a big group: a few kids, a willing coach, and this year's materials. Send us a message below and someone from district quizzing leadership will help you get going.
