Ever since Jeff Foxworthy graced us with his presence on the hit TV Show “Are you smarter than a fifth grader,” and now on “American Bible Challenge”….. I found a way to incorporate this “game show” technique into my classroom. Although, with early childhood, it may seem a little too difficult, but YOU can introduce a knowledge of the bible into your daily routine. After we do pledge, we say the Lord’s prayer! Some of the student are still learning it, but hopefully by the end of the year the children will be able to recite it by themselves. I introduced the Lord’s Prayer in a pocket chart with photos correlating to the words, it definitely helps my visual learners.
Throughout the day, we incorporate bible knowledge, such as: praying before our meals, reciting a weekly bible verse or reviewing simple biblical stories like Adam & Eve, Jonah and the whale, Daniel in the lion’s den, and Joseph’s colorful dream coat!
I have created a kid version of the game show to help review our bible knowledge. I open the PDF on my screen and read the question out loud. I also use flannel board pieces to review certain stories within the game. The kids LOVE it and are always eager to answer first. (We are still working on raising hands to answer questions in turn)
You can use each of these packets during chapel discussions, on a white board, or print out and place in page protectors for a 3 ring binder with a dry erase markers!
American Bible Challenge Level One: This mini trivia packet includes 11 questions covering people of the bible, books of the bible, and acts of Jesus throughout the bible.
