HOW TO USE
THIS BIBLE
Welcome to the NIV Kids’ Quiz Bible! However you are using this Bible — at
home, at school, with a church group, or by yourself — we hope you’re ready to
learn some incredible facts about the greatest, most widely-read, bestselling
book of all time — the Bible. The Bible is the Word of God, but it is also a terrific
historical document. It tells the story of God’s people from creation until the
time Jesus returns to earth. Throughout, we can learn about intriguing people,
exciting events, thrilling locations, numbers upon numbers and interesting
facts about how people lived, loved and died.
Each book of this Bible has an introduction that gives facts about when
and where the book was written, as well as important takeaways. We encour-
age you to read each introduction before delving into the quiz questions for
each book, because without knowing the context (the world and background
surrounding each book), you can’t gain a true understanding of the verses and
what they tell us.
Each book also contains a ton of quiz questions. You are going to see ques-
tions on almost every page of this Bible. If you are by yourself, read the ques-
tions and try finding the answer on the page (hint: the answer to each question
should appear on the same page as the question, or very close to the start of the
next page). Or, if you think you already know the answer, challenge yourself by
searching for the verse on the page. This is a great way to begin memorizing
passages of Scripture.
If you’re with a friend or a group, quiz each other by taking turns an-
swering questions. You could even approach this like a game show. Give each
competitor a bell, whistle or other noisemaker to act as their buzzer, and see
who can answer the question first. Make sure they can show you where in the
Bible the answer is found.
If you get stuck, the answers for all the quiz questions are in the back of
the Bible. You’ll see that each book has a number assigned to it (tip: look at the
book intros to find out which number the book is out of 66 books), and each
question is also numbered. For example, 1.1 means the question is the first one
in Genesis, and 2.4 means the question is the fourth one in Exodus . . . and so
on. We hope this makes each answer easy to find.
Have fun learning about the Word of God, and remember that the most
important lesson of all is to act on and share what you’ve learned about God’s
love for his people!
