| How to Host
a Bible Quiz- Jeopardy Style
Winners of the 4th
annual Bible Quiz
If you would like to host a Bible Quiz
Jeopardy Style for your church follow these simple rules which are set up
very similar to the show, Jeopardy:
|
First, Let's Make
up Your Board |
| -Make up a large board
for everyone to see (use a chalk board, or 4 poster boards taped
together, etc...) |
| -Have 4-5 categories
|
| -Under each category have
points 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 in a column |
|
This is what your
board may look like:
|
| Bible Facts |
What & Who |
Places |
Numbers |
Before and After |
| 10 |

| - Follow the
chart above for category ideas and point value ideas. |
| - To make
this the fairest game possible, team one starts with a
question of their choice. Let's say they pick "What & Who for
40", and they get it right. They receive 40 points and the game
moves on to team two. If they get it wrong, they get 0 points,
the question is thrown out, and move onto team two. (Have the game
show host give the correct answer with the scripture reference. This
way everyone including the spectators will learn and know more about
the book of the Bible your game show is doing.) The last question of the game should be
asked to the last team, this way, every team will be asked the same
number of questions. |
| -Questions
worth 10 points should be the easiest, with the questions getting more
difficult as the points get higher. There are two ways to handle the
questions. One, only have one question per point amount.
Example; one question under 10 points for Places. Once that
question is asked it can not be asked again. Continue this until
all points have been asked in each category. This is how the TV
show Jeopardy is done. If you have another set of questions, play a
round two and so on. Or have about 10-15 questions per point
amount and play continuously until a time limit is up. Example; one
hour. |
| -Pick a time
limit and continue to play straight thru with no interruption.
The best time is one hour of straight playing. Each team should have
45 seconds to one minute to answer a question. (A timer with a
stop watch is highly recommended.) Any longer will make the game drag
out. Total the scores, and then play final Jeopardy. |
| -Once again to make this
the fairest game possible, each team should be given a
pen and an envelope with a paper in it which has 1, 2, or 3 questions
written on it. Each team should be given the same question/s.
Each question is worth 100 points. The teams have 4 minutes to answer
the questions. Total the Jeopardy scores with the Final Jeopardy
scores to calculate your winning team. |
