What is Junior Bible Quiz?

The Junior Bible Quiz (JBQ) Fact-Pak was born in 1975. The national Assemblies of God Sunday School Promotion and Training Department is the parent of this best-seller. Created to provide elementary-age children with a Bible survey, it focuses on the great teachings of Scripture in a question-and-answer format.

The Fact-Pak consists of 576 cards, with questions on one side and scriptural answers on the other. Available with either King James or New lnternational Version answers, it is graded by color: white cards, 10 points; gold cards, 20 points; and green cards, 30 points.

The Fact-Pak is not limited to structured team quizzing. Other uses include individual study, family devotions, travel activity, games, Sunday school or children's church fillers, and Christian school classes. The rules for the individual awards program are found in the brochure contained in each Fact-Pak.

The philosophy of team quizzing for elementary-age children centers on

FACTS: The Fact-Pak is a teaching tool to help children learn and assimilate important truths about the Bible, mastering its great teachings.

FUN: JBQ offers a fun avenue for children to study at their own level. Team quizzing should de-emphasize competition, resisting the urge to develop superstars. Avoid a "winning is the only thing" attitude among quizzers and coaches.

FELLOWSHIP: The wide varieties of question usage, including studying with family and friends, provides rich Christian fellowship. This fellowship is broadened as the children quiz and make friends with children from other churches.

FAITHFULNESS: This is a great virtue taught through quizzing. JBQ is a program in which self-discipline and accountability are learned.
