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.

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

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

|
|
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.

graphic to the Discover the Bible section content.

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.

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. |

Additional Tech Notes:
In XP you 'may' have to tweak the virtual memory setting to run these CDs.
Depends on your computer and settings. 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.
