The Interactive Kids Bible Series CDs

Noah & the Ark,  Life of David, 
Adventures with Daniel,  Life of Paul

They're back!
We've finally been able to bring the four most popular CDs in the Interactive Kids Bible Series back in print.

Each of these CDs has six different types of content to explore, including:

  • an interactive storybook presentation that highlights a story from the Bible hero's life
     

  • video clips from the Bible Superbook Video series about certain episodes from the hero's life
     

  • narrated scripture with kid-friendly study notes
     

  • a quiz show about the Bible hero's life
     

  • fun games themed on the stories, including a scripture memory game

It is important to note that the Life of David, Daniel and Paul CDs can't possibly cover that Bible hero's entire story. Rather, the CDs main media selections cover SELECT STORIES from the hero's life, ...though the read-aloud scripture "Discover the Bible" section contains up to 20 chapters of kid-friendly bible text, illustrations and study notes. The Noah CD does cover the story of the Flood, but doesn't go much into the story 'after' the Flood.

See the individual outlines to know exactly what each CD covers.

(Note: if you own the original published version of these CDs, their age range was erroneously printed as "ages 3-8." This was corrected in the reprint.)

CD Highlights... All the CDs have the same six areas to explore, and same graphic style.

The Main Menu (seen right)
 The graphic on the right shows you the SIX activity areas to select from in EACH CD in the series:

  1. Main Story ("Paul and the Bright Light" on the Paul CD)

  2. Bible Quiz Show

  3. Discover the Bible

  4. Hall of Fame

  5. Fun & Games

  6. Bible-time Theater

The Main Story Section:
Each CD in the series has an animated narrated story section which highlights a key story in the Bible Hero's life. Fun clicky-do's on the screen and multiple pages of cartoon graphics and narration that retell the story in a kid-friendly way. The main story animated pages are the kids favorite part other than the Fun & Game area.

Click the thumbnail graphic at right to reveal a larger screenshot from the program. 

The interactive pages of the "Main Story" section zero-in on one main story from the life of the Bible hero. In Life of Paul, for example, the Main Story zeroes-in on Paul's Road to Damascus conversion. The Discover the Bible section in Life of Paul, contains 20 illustrated, annotated, and narrated chapters from the Books of Acts. View the brief outline chart at the bottom of this webpage to see which stories the other CDs zero-in on.

Discover the Bible section:
Each CD has up to 20 chapters of read-aloud Bible verses in a kid-friendly version with pictures and study notes they can access.

Many of the Kids Life Application Study Notes are very discussion worthy, and often what a teacher points the lesson and software use toward. These are the same Kids Application Notes found in the popular print version of the Kids Life Application Bible.

Pictured right >> a graphic guide to features in the Discover the Bible section.

Bible Time Theater:
Each CD in the series has two or three video clips about episodes in the Bible hero's story.
The clips come from the Bible Superbook Video Series and last two to three minutes each. In a lesson, these are often view/discussed after exploring the Main animated story.

Click the thumbnail to reveal larger screenshot graphic. 

Three other learning areas in each CD include:

 The Bible Quiz Show, Hall of Fame (more about people in the story) and a Fun  & Games (which includes a scripture memory game). 

The Bible Quiz Show is a multiple choice quiz for one or two players (or teams). Questions are drawn from the entire CD. The Hall of Fame in each CD contains short narrated illustrations about people in the stories. The Fun & Games section of each CD contains over 6 different games, including mazes and a scripture memory game. Some of the games are pretty simple, and the younger kids especially like them.

Only $15 each. Order by title on our online order form.
System: Windows 98/Me/XP/Vista or MAC 8/9 or "classic mode" in OSX. See tips below on best screen resolution settings. 266mhz, 64mb ram minimum. These are a great example of an older that is still good to each with.

Additional Tech Notes:

In XP you 'may' have to tweak the virtual memory setting to run these CDs. Depends on your computer and settings. View the README file on the CD, and the Documents folder on the CD for details. Or consult our support page for details (the glitch was fixed in Vista and doesn't affect Win Me or Win 98).

The program will display in 640x480 window so set your Display settings as close to that as possible (like 800x600) for the program to appear larger on the screen.

If you have a newer computer, remember to install Quicktime 2.1 from the CD to get the Bible Time Theater video clips to run. (They wont' work with newer versions of Quicktime and not to worry... you can have multiple versions of Quicktime on your system.)

Teaching Notes:

In typical classroom use, teachers and students choose their way through the content -concentrating on the story elements they want to study.

You might start in the Main animated story, then watch a video clip in the Bible Time Theater, then pop over to the Discover the Bible section to hear read-aloud scripture and click open a Bible Study Note to discuss. The notes come from the Kids Life Application Bible. Our outline of each CD lists the notes.
