Play & Learn Children's Bible CD features 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 interactive 'pages' that 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 it for them, or they can 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. They can also click the Bible icon to search for interesting narrated study notes (such as the one about shepherds seen on this page below). View pricing and system details below

 Each
story has multiple interactive pages, and each page has kid-friendly
text and vocabulary spoken by a pleasant voice.
The vocabulary used to
tell the stories is aimed at ages 4 to 6. Each story ends with a
narrated age appropriate
question about the story's meaning. Play & Learn's
50 stories were written by popular children's Christian author
Gilbert Beers.

Neil Notes:  I have used this CD
dozens and 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 and are not so easily distracted. Because they are happy and focused, it is easy to talk with them about the story. Most other preschooler Bible CDs have serious flaws or are just plain bad (poor graphics, difficult Bible versions, only one illustration per story, poor sound, etc., etc.). We love Play and Learn so much, that after many years we bought it from the developer to keep it in print. This CD continues to be a popular item that gets good reviews. And it runs on new-er as well as older computers. Unfortunately, however, it will not run in Windows 7 64 bit. HOWEVER... There is a workaround ! Please read my article about how you can STILL USE Play & Learn Children's Bible CD in a computer lab that has Windows 7 (requires an older computer) This article also has a sample lesson plan for using Play & Learn in a lesson with Kid Pix CD.
