Frequently asked questions
Is this Christmas Bible trivia really free?
Yes. Download the PDF and print as many copies as you need for your home, classroom or church. Please share the page link rather than the file, and don’t resell.
Are the answers included?
Yes. A 4-page answer key (pages 11–14) gives every answer with its King James Bible reference and the exact verse wording. Print it separately so players can’t peek.
What ages is it for?
Round 1 is for kids and families (about age 6 and up with help), Round 2 for older kids, teens and adults, Round 3 for teens and adults, and Round 4 (true or false) for everyone.
Which Bible translation is used?

Yes. There’s a team scorecard, a tie-breaker and a winner’s certificate, and churches may print copies for their own classes and events.
