Kids Bible Trivia — 40 Questions & Answers

Kids Bible trivia works best when the questions feel like stories the kids already love — Noah counting animals, David facing a giant, a baby in a manger. This set of 40 kids Bible trivia questions was written for ages roughly 6 to 12: every answer comes straight from well-known Bible stories, with a one-line note so kids learn a little context along with the answer. You can read them aloud in Sunday school, use them for a family quiz night, or play online right on this page with our interactive quiz widget. We grouped the questions into four rounds — creation and Noah, Old Testament heroes, the life of Jesus, and Bible books and numbers — so you can match the round to whatever your class or family has been reading. Start easy, celebrate every right answer, and let the kids take turns being the quiz host.
