NO, NO, NO. Kids Church Curriculum is designed for the students at both extremes. It will teach the student that does no weekly Bible study or the student that dives in each day to God’s words. No student will feel behind or excluded because they did not do their devotionals through the week. Memory is optional for Kids Bible curriculum. There is a set memory verses schedule programmed into the weekly devotionals for those students that want that challenge.

Of course the director can add incentives to reward those that complete their memory. One suggestion is for the group to be offered the chance to take a trip or outing in town per semester for those that complete a minimum of 15 verses per semester. This trip rewards and solidifies the Kids Church Curriculum group. There are as many as 60 memory verses per semester that are within this study that are optional.

What is Quiz time?

Quiz time during Kids Church Curriculum is the fun part! It is the “gaming” and social interaction elements that young people love. The director is in front of the group with the questions and answers. The director may use an electronic quizzing machine where each student has a hand pad to buzz into the director’s answer pad.

This pad indicates who buzzed in first giving that person the ability to answer. If your budget does not allow for this, simply dividing up into teams is fun as well. Further directions of just what the rules of the game are can be answered later. The weekly Kids Church Curriculum quiz questions are not given out each week for the students to learn. 

There is a specific, definite reason for this.  Kids Church Curriculum differs from a typical “Quizzing Program.”  Kids Church Curriculum is designed for the student to study and meditate on the portion of scripture contained in that weeks Kids Church Curriculum devotionals, NOT TO MEMORIZE ANSWERS TO QUESTONS.  The student is encouraged to study the devotions and corresponding scriptures and the weekly quiz questions come from that.  If quiz questions are given out to study, the student simply is repeating back answers making their study nothing more than preparation for trivial gaming.
