Who it’s for, and how to run it

For Sunday school, children’s church, VBS, homeschool and the dinner table. Written for roughly ages 6 to 11; younger children do better when a grown-up reads the four choices aloud.

In a class: read a question and its choices, let the children call out or hold up one to four fingers, then open the answer and read the verse together. The verse is the point: it sends them back to the story.

On paper: press Print. The questions come first and the answer key is on its own page at the end, so you can hand out the questions and keep the key.
