Idea for to get the little ones on the right path

[Nickblessed]

With all of the electronic devices its hard to maintain the attention of the children. Reading or learning about God is "boring" to them. I remember liking video games as a kid but I remember always listening to parents and attending church.

Its almost as if we need an app or interactive game for them. It just seems the medium of a book cannot compete with an iPad.

Anyway we still try. We read them bedtime stories every night and I came across something and wanted to share with my fellow Christians.

The books on Amazon and in the bookstore can get expensive when buying a bunch. I thought for Christmas this year this would be a nice gift for the children and maybe purchase another one to give out as gifts when they do Secret Santa at the school.

Its a Groupon for all the books of the First Bible Story. It has 12 books Noah’s Ark, Jonah and the Big Fish, Daniel and the Lions, Moses in the Bulrushes, Joseph’s Colorful Coat, David and Goliath, The Birth of Jesus, The Baptism of Jesus, Jesus and His Disciples, The Miracles of Jesus, The Last Supper, and The Easter Story.

I though this was great so I picked up 2. One for our children and another for school. I am not sure of the rules if you are allowed to share a wesbite or not. If not please forgive me but this was the link a friend had sent to me. edited

So if that link doesnt come through contact me and Ill see if I can find it somehow.

Best to all!

They need to make interactive Biblical games since kids are so absorbed with electronics. Many of the stories in the Bible can be great interactions as you become the character and play role through different scenerios that would help teach the word of God to young kids, and even adults who like electronic games.

We should be the "they" and make it!

I'm pretty much illiterate in that area when it comes to IPad's and such. I don't have any children so never checked out if there are any games like that.

Im obsessed with Groupon. I just saw this and was thinking it would be a great gift for my son. It teaches you how to make an app. Hes on the ipad non-stop. Its a like a drug to him. I figure if I cant beat him, join him. Try and get something productive out of it.edited

It would be great to say "Hey son. We need to build an interactive bible app for kids. Can you get on that?" lol!

Here is one. My grandson played this game for a long time. He really enjoyed it and learned a lot.
