Study for Bible Bee

In an age of technology where nearly everything is done on a computer, tablet, or smart phone (including writing this blog post), it is hard to set limits with screen-time. Our kids need to be able to use the technology, and they even need to use it to study for Bible Bee; but I am here to make a case that not all learning should take place on a screen, even when screens are readily available and convenient. Following are some ideas for using "real" flashcards and a few other basic supplies to learn and review material for Bible Bee. We have always used these types of activities with our younger kids, and have found that they can be more effective than screen-dependent activities, helping our kids to learn the material with fewer repetitions. It is also fun to work together and, as a parent, I am able to quickly and easily assess what each of my children know well and what they need work on. Flashcards If you have listened to my Primary Prep Series , you will know that we use...

  Hey guys! It's me, Abby!  For the last time.  As y'all know, this week is our last week of study before the MCT. I wrote a giant (well, kinda giant) review bank of questions, and fear not, Seniors and Primaries! These are for you too. There are no division-specific questions. None. Yep, you heard me right.  I hope you guys have enjoyed my questions, and used them, and I hope you can find time to run through these questions too. Some of them are really fun.  Know you guys are gonna do amazing! https://docs.google.com/document/d/10g6u-jvrk7gwySMkLdLtJ2iChQsrQp5ep22YUuhRrHc/edit?usp=sharing - Abs 🤪

23 Thus says the LORD: "Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, Let not the mighty man glory in his might, Nor let the rich man glory in his riches; 24 But let him who glories glory in this, That he understands and knows Me, That I am the LORD, exercising lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth. For in these I delight," says the LORD. - Jeremiah 9:23-24 NKJV Hello, y'all! I want to give you some encouragement and reminders as we move into this final phase of studying and reviewing for the 2024 National Bible Bee Competition.  It's easy to lose the correct focus and goal when we're stressed out, tired, and trying to lug ourselves toward the finish line. Keep the following passages in your mind as you study and memorize for God's glory! 1 If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. 2 Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For you died, and your...

Keep in mind that God is the one in control, even when it doesn't seem like it!

JUST WHAT Y'ALL HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR: Presenting . . . the long-awaited, much-debated, infamous, extraordinary ONE-QUESTION PRACTICE TEST!!!!!!!!!!! This is just what y'all have been needing to motivate you to study harder than hard for the upcoming and brain-busting MCT.  Guess what??  You can either COMPLETELY SUCCEED or . . . UTTERLY FAIL.  Try it today!  Try it tomorrow!  Try it the day after yesterday!  Try it the day before tomorrow!  Try it the day in-between!  Try it once, then try it again, then try it a MILLION times! If you don't get the ENTIRE TEST right the first time, try again!  If you get the entire test right the FIRST TIME, try it again!!  If you are talented enough to get HALF of it right, try it again!!! If this test doesn't prepare you for the MCT, I don't know WHAT will.  I read on someone else's practice test description that if their test were evaluated by the Shelby Kennedy Foundation it would be sure to re...

  Hey guys! Are you ready for some speed?  These are buzzer questions, only slightly Junior-specific. Well, you know . . . slightly. Seniors and Primaries, you can still do most of them. Of course, if you make it a competition with a Junior-aged sibling, they might just win, because there are some Junior-specific questions. Again, some . Hope you guys enjoy these and use them to prep for the MCT!  https://docs.google.com/document/d/19gTx8el3m-4YFvJGawqbJHabhy0SdIDCySQwsuWKleQ/edit?usp=sharing -Abs Other Review Resources

  Hey guys! It's me again--Abby! I'm a Junior (and obviously majorly biased toward all Juniors out there) so for this week's questions, I've got some Buzzer Recitation. These are VERY Junior Specific, so Primaries and Seniors, I'm sorry (NOT). You guys will have to wait for some even bigger question docs I'll be releasing. Till then, it's only 24 days till Nats, so keep studying, guys! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UTib7kpnlpuel79kYpwA9QDEAyXzVahLLWw_RQD04Hc/edit?usp=sharing - Abs 🤪
