Beginner Bible Bowl, made easy

The Leader Guide lays out every practice for you, the workshop walks you through how to run one from start to finish, and 20 relay-game demos give kids something to race toward, so they stay locked in through the drilling. Everything you need to direct a Beginner group is here.

This is one way to run a Beginner group. Groups run their own variations, keeping the elements that fit their leaders, their space, and their players. Feel free to take what's useful here and shape the rest around your group.

The workshop

Before you run your first practice, watch the 45-minute workshop on making practice genuinely fun — it's talked through slide by slide, using the deck beside it.

Every practice you'll run follows the same three moves:

1 · Text introduction

Open the Scripture together — the guide gives you the verses and the talking points.

2 · Rapid Fire

Flashcards, questions, and memory work — with BBB Bucks earned along the way.

3 · Gameplay

Relay games and buzzer rounds — what kids are drilling toward all practice.

The materials

Everything you hand out

The Leader Guide

Each practice is completely laid out — you're never guessing what to do next:

  • The Scripture verses to review with players
  • The relay games to play that week
  • The number of BBB Bucks players can earn for each activity
  • The flashcard set each practice is built around, included

It's written to make directing easy and fun, even if you've never done Beginner Bible Bowl before. Your volunteer leaders can be parents or teens earning service hours — anyone ready to teach the Bible to a younger generation.
