Reflection and variations
How can Bible knowledge be used in everyday life in the Ameisli / youth group? Why should Bible knowledge be ''tested''?
Quizzes or tests, especially if you can win something, spur you on and motivate you to test your knowledge. The aim is not to show what you don't know, but to celebrate what you already know. Of course, the questions must be appropriate to the age and knowledge of the participants. It should not be too difficult, but not too easy either. Everyone should learn something and enjoy the knowledge. If you have participants who have no idea at all, then simply ask for basic knowledge (e.g. of the Christmas story) or say the answer and ask the same question again next time. You can always ask questions from the devotion you heard or from the last time.
Example applications:
Playingbeanbag ; if someone has it, answer questions to the leader, if correct, you can participate again. If not, either to another leader or a new question.
Fangis; same as Sitzball, if you are caught, you have to answer a question and can return to the game.
Post on terrain game; to collect whatever, post with Bible questions.
