How do you use these Bible questions with kids?
These easy questions stick to the Bible stories children usually hear first: creation, Noah's ark, Moses and the Red Sea, the walls of Jericho, Samson, David and Goliath, Daniel in the lions' den, Jonah and the great fish, and the life of Jesus in the Gospels. The questions are short, so they read well out loud, and most children who know the stories can answer them.
Use them in Sunday school, at family devotions, in the car or on game night. Read a question aloud, let everyone guess, then reveal the answer together with its verse. You can split into teams and keep score. Older children can look up the references themselves, such as where the walls of Jericho fall (Joshua 6:20), where David faces Goliath (1 Samuel 17:45), or where Jesus says, "Suffer the little children to come unto me" (Mark 10:14).
