2025 KJV Sword Drill Competition

Before each Preaching Service there will be a Sword Drill competition.

Three age groups are represented:

5-12 years old 13-19 years old 20- Up

A "Sword Drill" is designed to be done in a family or group setting. It is a fun way to learn the books of the Bible and where they are located by turning quickly to a specific verse in the Bible.

Instructions:

1. The leader explains the rules.

2. Everyone should have their Bible closed.

3. The leader holds up his Bible and says, "Swords ready."

4. Everyone lifts their closed Bible with the spine in the palm of their hand, to head level or higher.

5. The leader says the book, chapter and verse (for example Genesis chapter 6, verse 8) and everyone repeats the book, chapter and verse.

6. The leader says "ready" and then shouts "go!"

7. Everyone brings their Bibles down and turns to the verse as quickly as possible.

8. As soon as a person finds the verse they stand up. The leader recognizes the first person to stand and that person reads the verse out loud to the others. Judges will be selected to select who stood first second and so forth. If the person to first stand is wrong then the second to stand shall be selected. If you know the verse by heart you may say it, when called upon, but it must be word perfect. That person gets a bonus point.

9. The person who finds the most verses first wins the round.

10. An extra point can be given to the person who correctly identifies the word that is found in each of the 10 Bible verses.Use the following sets of 10 Bible verses for each round of Sword drill.
