Proverbs - Review

Today, we’re going to be doing a review of the material that we’ve learned while studying the book of Proverbs
• The purpose of this review is not merely go over facts.
• It’s not to improve your head knowledge.
• It’s to help you cement the concepts learned in your study of these principles.
• So that you can then deepen you application of these principles in your daily lives.
• So, to help us do that, for the next couple of days, we’re going to play Proverbs Jeopardy!

The first thing we need to do is have you divide into teams
• So, I need you to number off 1 though 5.
• When I point to you, call out your number.
• And here’s the tricky part, once you’ve called out your number—remember it.
• Group together with your teammates, and select a team spokesperson.
• This is the person who will speak for your group.
• That doesn’t mean that this person is the one who single-handedly answers all of the questions for your team.
• This person serves as voice of your team.
• So, select someone who you think will represent your team well.

• Here’s how we’ll play.
• Now, pay attention to the rules because they’re different from those of the television show.
• Team 1 will select the first category.
• Then, I will read the question
• Team 1 will have the first chance to answer the question.
• Team 1’s members will confer with one another.
• If, however, Team 1 is unable to come up with an answer, Team 2 will get a crack at the question.
• If Team 2 can’t answer, then Team 3 gets a shot and so on.
• If no one is able to answer the question, I’ll reveal the answer, and Team 2 will select the category.
• There’s one stipulation.
• You have to select the lower point values in a particular category before you can select a higher point value.
• Everybody understand the rules?
• Everybody excited?
• Okay, let’s get down to business.

Here are the categories:
• Where’s That?
• In this category, you’ll be given a verse or two from the scriptures, then you have to supply the reference.
• Notable People
• For these questions, you’ll be given the characteristics of a person mentioned in the book of Proverbs, and you’ll need to identify the person. So, you may want to be mentally reviewing some of the people that we’ve talked about in our studies as well as their characteristics.
• Proverbs Potpourri
• In this category, you’ll encounter a mishmash of different questions about the book of Proverbs. Anything on the book of Proverbs is fair game.
• Bible Potpourri
• This category is similar to the previous one. The only difference is that the scope is widened to include the entire Bible.
