The
Play & Learn Children's Bible CD
the best
preschool & early reader Bible CD available today
~Now with a bigger quantity discount~
|
Play
& Learn has
50
read-aloud
interactive Bible stories
with
multiple pages of illustrations and narrated kid-friendly text for
preschoolers and early readers up to about age 6 or 7.
The stories are organized by theme and by the values they teach
(a typical way many curricula are organized for this age group).
View list of stories below. Each of the 50 stories
has 3 to 5 'pages' the children flip through to see, hear and play with
the story.
(some other programs of this kind only give you one picture per story).
Kids pick a story
and the program asks them if they want a narrator to read, or read it themselves. After a brief narration
on each page, kids can hunt for fun animations hidden
in each screen.
When they rollover the animation
funspots, their cursor changes and the kids can click to play them. The kids LOVE
this feature. See the
video demo for examples.
Each page has kid-friendly
text and vocabulary spoken by a pleasant voice. The vocabulary used to
tell the stories is at about age 4 to 6. Each story ends with an age appropriate
question about the story's meaning for young children.
Play & Learn's
50 stories were written by popular children's Christian author
Gilbert Beers. Each Bible story is paraphrased and shortened in an
easy to understand version for pre-and early reader, just like you'd expect
for a Bible story book for children.

Stories are organized by theme

The pages are warmly drawn and easy to navigate
for young children. Each story is narrated and has multiple pages with clickable
animated funspots. |
IN THE GAMEROOM:
- Bible
songs sing-a-long ...16 songs
- Bible picture
puzzles for 25 of the stories
(onscreen)
- Bible Paint coloring activity for the other 25 stories
(onscreen)
- MUSIC BOX Bible Songs
Sing-a-long
- Mazes to play onscreen
- ABC and 123 activities to play onscreen
Why do I keep
saying "onscreen"
?
...Because some non-reader Bible software produced over the years only
allows you to print the activities. Whereas, Play & Learn Children's
Bible CD is truly SOFTWARE ~the kids play the activities on screen with
their mouse.
|
The game room is a lot of fun for preschoolers, and easy
to navigate. Kids especially love the Music Box sing-a-long Bible songs,
and the Coloring Book.

I have used this CD
dozens of times in my own classes and the little dudes never seem to
tire of it. My
kids like to take turns 'running' the story and clicking the cute
animations on each screen, and we often end up viewing the same story at
least twice, which helps them remember it. When they're THIS interested
and captivated, they don't ask to go to the bathroom or get so easily
distracted. And because happy and focused, it is easy to talk with them
about the story This CD
continues to be a popular item that gets good reviews. And it runs on
new as well as older computers. Unfortunately, however, it will not
run in Vista.
Most other preschooler
Bible CDs have serious flaws or are just plain bad
(poor graphics, age inappropriate difficult Bible versions, only
one illustration per story, poor sound, etc., etc.)

Why we recommend Play
& Learn Children's Bible CD OVER
Heavenword CD. I'm often asked
why we don't carry "Heavenword" CD for the little guys. It has been
on our "No Shelf" for many years. Here are two of many
reasons: 1) It only has one picture per story. Only the text
changes. ...and... 2) Its written content isn't as age
appropriate as Play and Learn's.
Here's some great feedback
on Play & Learn:
Dear Neil,
My oldest teacher was tickled
to death with this program. She said she had finally found a
reason to become computer literate! She is about 65-70 years
old and does a great job teaching our K-1st grade class but I
think she is thrilled to find something new to do with the kids
that is really worthwhile.
