THE BOYS' BRIGADE - LONDON DISTRICT JUNIOR SECTION BIBLE QUIZ 2019

We would like the Bible Quiz to be an event that as many children can take part in as possible. Please try to make it an enjoyable experience for them all, and although we will present awards to the highest scoring teams in London District, we would be grateful if you could ensure that every child feels that they have achieved something worthwhile, whatever their contribution.

The Quiz is held as a "take part when and where it suits you" event. We are again giving detailed instructions. (We apologise if some instructions are very obvious. Please bear with us, some may not have taken part before, your comments on any problems encountered are sought when your result sheets are returned )

When should the quiz be held: Any day and time between Sunday 17th and Sunday 31st March 2019 Where should it be held: This will depend upon how many teams are to take part. If there is only one team, then one room will be sufficient. If there is to be more than one team, then those teams waiting to have their turn should wait where they cannot hear the previous teams answering the questions.

Those who have had their turn should not tell the others what the questions, answers or subject matter is. Best not to discuss the matter if they are anywhere near the others. If there are several teams, then suitable arrangement should be made to occupy the teams before or after they have their turn. The Teams: All team members must be Junior Section age. (None over or under age). You can enter as many teams as you wish. Number teams from the same Company A, B, C, etc.

Boys/Girls may only take part once. Ideally, teams can be made up of Four Boys, Four Girls or mixed teams. (Results from teams of three will be included in the results) Members can be from BB/GB/GA

Please state if Girls are GB, GA, or whatever. And the unit name of the girls group if it has one.

Number members of each team 1-4. Number 1 should be the captain. Sit them in a row in front of the QM's table. (If a team has only three members the other members of the team should take it in turns to answer question 4 in each round)

List the team member's names on the quiz sheet.

Question Master: You will require a suitable person to act as Question Master. He or she might be a minister, church member, BB/GB Officer. What is important is that they present a friendly and sympathetic manner, and ask the questions in a way that will encourage the children, and be supportive, whatever the responses.

Please give the QM a chance to read these instructions and questions in advance. The QM when asking the questions must stick to reading the question as written. It may be repeated as many times as necessary.

The QM should only use whole marks. (i.e. 2,1 or 0. Only give a mark if all parts of the answer are given)

The Questions: The question paper has four sets of questions on the Set Passages.

Each set has four questions, to be asked to each of the four boys/girls. Question 1 to be asked to team member 1 (the Captain) Question 2 to be asked to team member 2 And so on. There are two points for a correct individual answer

There must be NO assistance to the individual, from the other members of the team. (If the QM has to deal with an over enthusiastic child who blurts out an answer when it is not their turn, then the QM may consider it to be a Team response and ask the Captain what answer they wish to give on behalf of the Team for a maximum of one point instead of two.)

If the individual team member gets the question wrong, or cannot answer, the question becomes a team question, for one point. The QM must insist that the team Captain gives the teams answer, after consulting with their team, if necessary. (Encourage individuals to give an answer, as they do not loose anything if they are wrong.) (If a team has only three members the other members of the team should take it in turns to answer question 4 in each round)

The fifth question, in each set is a team question for a maximum of two points. (The same rule applies that the answer must come from the Team Captain.) There are 20 questions with a maximum of 40 points.

We have put some "spare questions" at the end. Only use these in emergency. (e.g. The QM reads the answer as well as the question [it has happened]). You may wish to have a local "tie break", if you want to have a definite local result. In which case please do not add this to the points you send in.

Please photocopy a separate question paper for each team. Return the papers to the address below within two days of your Quiz. (If you can, keep a copy in case of postal difficulties) We need all the papers to compile a complete London District list, and to assess the suitability of the

questions. Thank you for taking part. We wish you God's blessing for a happy Quiz.
