The handouts (below) are for the kids and the parent's note is to give parents before the child goes home.  The handout is an attempt to keep parents in touch with Bible lessons and encourages parents to become the primary spiritual teacher of their child, applying the week's lesson at home when the child is out in the "real world."

Rules: How the Trivia Game is Played

(1) Randomly assign kids to a team so that no one is ever "stuck with a losing team."
  
(2) Give one child on each team a piece of paper designating them as the member who can give the final answer.
 
(3) Decide which team goes first buy having them guess a number 1 through 5.  Don't have them guess 1 through 10 because this process can take time.
 
(4) The team guessing the right number gets to answer the question.  If they answer it correctly, they get 2 points.  If they don't answer correctly, the other team gets to answer for 1 point.  If no one gets the answer, the teacher explains the correct one and move on to the next question.
 
(5) Points can be removed for misbehavior as the teacher sees fit.  This is a great order-keeping tool!
 
(6) After each question, have the designated child on each team pass the piece of paper to the person on their right and repeat from step 3.  Everyone should at least have a chance to guess 1 though 5 (if your class is smaller than 15 kids).

Other rules: Repeat steps until all 10 questions have been answered. Kids are allowed to help each other answer the question, but only the designated child (the one with the paper) can have the final answer. Have prizes for both teams, but the winning team should always get a better prize.

(8) When the game is done, begin your lesson for the next week's trivia game.
