A Tale of A Multicultural Family........................Life As We Know It

Oct. 23, 2008 - Beginner Bible Bowl

My 10 year old daughter is participating in Beginner Bible Bowl. To give you a little background...it is like quick recall...they learn questions and Bible quotes and participate in competitions. Her favorite part is the buzzers! I am in awe of how much she has learned already. I wouldn't be able to do in a year what she has done in 2 months.

This block has the typical 200 or so questions, but the tough part is that it is chock full of quotes. 27 to be exact. And the BBB rules are: it has to be word for word or they will not get the points. She kind of freaked out a little when we got started. So I gave her a little challenge. I told her that all she had to do was take 1 quote every day and work on it. Not perfect it, but just familiarize yourself with it. Then the next day, start on a new one and review the one from the day before. Then to make it a little extra special, I added a prize for completion. If she memorized all 27 quotes in time for the next competition (it gives her right at a month) I would take her and a friend to the movie theater to watch the new High School Musical movie. She's about half way through, with 2 more weeks to go. I think she's gonna make it. And between you and me, I'm gonna take her to the movie regardless because she has been working her little butt off. The whole point is that she memorizes scripture. If she only gets 15 that is still fantastic. That's 15 more than I know! But because she enjoys a little competition...I have to make the stakes high.
