Use these Bible trivia questions for your next Bible Bowl or even your Sunday School class. Having a day of Bible trivia is fun and exciting and also lets you know how much kids (or adults) are holding back when you teach.

Bible stories

The Bible is so packed with information that it is best to narrow down the questions. Instead of having Bible trivia throughout the book, use questions like the following and just focus on the Bible stories.

Children are more likely to know more about Bible stories rather than questions like “How many miles was it from Bethlehem to Jerusalem?”

Use stories like Jonah, Daniel, Adam and Eve, Naaman, Jacob and Esau, Abraham, Moses, the Philippian jailer, Samson, Jesus feeds the 5000, Jesus walks on water, Jesus turns water into wine, and many, much others.
