Q: What are some other ways we can practice?

Join our online study group and weekly competition. Although this does not replace the local host group, we have resources for your children to practice for the National Bible Bee Qualifying Test.

Q: Is my child required to do this?

No. This is optional. If you are unhosted, your family can hold a Proclaim Day in your home or with your local host group.

Q: Can we join even if we are not competing at the Nationals?

Yes, of course. Everyone is welcome to join. This is to make your Family Summer Study fun and memorable. After the Proclaim Day at the MOTB, visit the national museums in DC for more summer educational fun times!

Q: How many tickets can I purchase for this event?

It depends on the size of your family. You may invite as many families and friends as you like, pay for the entrance fees that they can use at the Museum of the Bible, and watch your children at the Gathering Room A (6th floor).

Q: Do we need to buy tickets if we have the MOTB annual pass?

No, you don't need to buy entrance tickets if you have an annual Museum of the Bible pass.

Q: Can I show up anytime?

The 6th Floor Gathering Room A has a 300-person limit, and we want to minimize the number of interruptions during the competition. Please be mindful when you enter and exit during the breaks.

Proclaim! Day Program overview

We're excited to host a special Proclaim Day at the Museum of the Bible (MOTB), designed to prepare our students for the National Bible Bee Competition (NBBC). We encourage all our students to compete in the NBBC, and these challenges at the Museum of the Bible are excellent preparation. While the NBBC spans four intense days, our Proclaim Day will condense the excitement and challenge into a dynamic 4-hour event. Here's a breakdown of our NBBC simulations. Watch Mrs. Cart explaining each NBBC Semi-Final and Final Segments Simulations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can we still join even if we are out of state?

Yes. This is open for every family, hosted or unhosted.

Can we still join even if we attend a local host group?

Yes, definitely. This is open to all families worldwide. It does not replace your local host group. This is additional practice for your students who want to proclaim God's Words at the Museum of the Bible. This is also a great practice for students who want to compete at the National Bible Bee. It might help them lessen their stage fright and prepare for the big NBB judges in the Nationals!

What are some other ways we can practice?

Why are you doing this?

Research has shown that games and competitions engage students. We hope this event will be memorable for your budding disciples, regardless of whether they make it to the competitive National Bible Bee. We pray the Summer Study teachings will resonate with your children's hearts.
