Bible Bee Basics
The following questions are meant to provide you with
a basic understanding of the Bible Bee Competition.
What is the Bible Bee?
The Bible Bee is a refreshing and motivating
Bible memory competition for children and youth. It is very similar to a spelling
bee, except contestants are required to recite Bible passages and facts rather than
spell words.
Why organize a Bible Bee?
The purpose of the Bible Bee is to
promote godly character in children and youth by motivating them to memorize passages
and facts found in the Bible. Our ultimate goal is to equip the next generation
to be bold ambassadors for Jesus Christ.
Where are the Bible Bees held?
Local Bible Bee Contests are conducted
throughout the United States in designated local churches, schools, and other meeting
facilities. The National Bible Bee Contest is a two-day, world-class event which
will be held annually in Washington, D.C.
When are the Bible Bees held?
The inaugural Bible Bee Competition will be held in 2009.
Local Bible Bee Contests will be conducted throughout the United States on Saturday,
September 12, 2009. One hundred finalists nationwide from each of three age groups
will then advance to the National Bible Bee, which will be held November 5–6, 2009.
Who is eligible to participate in the
Bible Bee?
Any child or youth from the ages of 7 to 18 may enroll
in the Bible Bee.
How do contestants sign up to compete
