Creating a Team
It takes ONE adult and a few interested teens willing to try out quizzing to create a quiz team.
If that adult is you, or if you and your friends want to try out quizzing, then you’ve come to the right place!
The biggest hurdle for new quiz programs is initial, one-time investment in purchasing quizzing equipment.
If you haven't been introduced to Bible quizzing yet, make to sure to give the "Intro to Quizzing" series a read-through. (It is comprehensive and succinct.)
Why quizzing equipment is needed:
  • Bible quizzing awards the opportunity to answer a question that the quizmaster reads to only the first quizzer to jump off of their seat. You need some way to detect who jumped first.
Please don't let the price of equipment discourage you from creating a team. In the future TeenBibleQuiz.com, in partnership with QuizStuff.com, hopes to provide assistance in lowering this barrier-to-entry for buying quizzing equipment through technology optimizations, new solutions, and crowd-funded financial support systems.
Some ways to obtain quiz equipment for quiz practices include:
  1. Purchasing quiz equipment for your church. This can be either with your own funds, or from the church’s budget set aside for the program, or from a GoFundMe fundraiser, or any countless other ways of raising funds for church programs.
  2. Borrowing a set of quiz equipment from a district director, if available. Sometimes quiz directors have extra sets of quiz equipment that they are able to loan out to a church for a set amount of time. This can be a great option for churches that may become eventual investors in the purchase of quizzing equipment a year or two after gaining more experience with Bible quizzing. Reach out to your district’s quiz director to see if such assistance can be provided!
Please take a look at the quiz equipment page on where to get started with purchasing equipment based on the kind of quizzing you will be participating in.
  • If you don't know which type of quizzing to get started with, try out NIV (NYI/Nazarene-style) quizzing.
  • Checkout the QuizMachine software and the Blue Box options along with at least 1 string of jump seats/pads to get started with quizzing for 5 quizzers at one time.
As a temporary solution you can use a manual version of quizzing, such as:
  • Clapping your hands in the place of where the quizzer would jump (the difficulty being determining which quizzer's clap was first based on the sound).
  • As a different manual solution, you can also have one person quizmaster and then have another person (the quizmaster's assistant/content judge) hold a piece of paper up and level to cover where the quizzers are sitting and whoever is visible to assistant first when jumping gets wins the toss-up quesiton and a chance to earn their team 20 points.
(Being able to use quizzing equipment makes quizzing more fun through fairness and accuracy.)
Other than quiz equipment, the only thing missing is study materials and tools:
