Bible Master Award Certificate and Seals

Junior Bible Quiz offers an individual awards program as an incentive to encourage children to study the Bible Fact-Pak. Achievement is recognized with the award certificate and accompanying seals.

This award certificate has a place for four seals, each showing the attainment of certain levels of mastery of the Junior Bible Quiz material. The four award seals, each a different color of metallic foil, designate the child as a Bible Discoverer, Searcher, Achiever, or Master.

One or more persons should be selected by the Sunday school administration to oversee the awards program and administer the tests. To test the individual child, the questions should be separated by color, placed in three different containers, and thoroughly stirred. The cards are drawn one color at a time, beginning with the white cards, and the questions are asked until the chiled has satisfactorily completed the test or the maximum number of errors has been exceeded. If the child fails, he or she should be encouraged to try again. It is recommended that he or she wait at least one week before again attempting that step. He or she may try as many times as he or she wishes.

Requirements for earning the awards are as follows:

Certificate and Discoverer Seal - A child must correctly answer 20 out of 30 of the questions on the red cards (10 point).

Searcher Seal - Based on 50 questions, a child must correctly answer 25 out of 30 red cards (10 points) and 15 out of 20 blue cards (20 point) questions.

Achiever Seal - Based on 60 questions, a child must correctly answer 28 out of 30 red cards (10 points), 18 out of 20 blue cards (20 points), and 6 out of 10 purple cards (30 point) questions.

Master Seal - A child must correctly answer 59 out of 60 of the total cards. These are to be drawn at random from the entirety of the cards mixed together 30 red (10 points), 20 blue(20 points), and 10 purple (30 point).

A package containing 10 each of the certificates--Discoverer, Searcher, and Achiever seals--can be obtained from Gospel Publishing House, order number 06-5101.
