We want our children to enjoy learning about God’s ways and His Bible, to be drawn back to it time and time again. What a great goal. To make that happen, the material we have must be entertaining as well as teaching.
The Beginners Bible is a Christian educational computer game that uses games and interesting stories to hold children’s attention and get them to cooperate in the learning process.

There are many games out there that entertain and kill time, keep the kids out of your hair for a while, but games that actually make for better grades are rarer. Math is a skill many kids don’t think they can do. The stress the attempt makes on them increases the difficulty of learning. Practicing a skill in a fun, nonthreatening environment can make kids more comfortable with skills they need to learn.
Quick Pix is a kid’s educational game made to teach without kids knowing they’re learning. Quick Pix Math plays like many other card games. The object is to gain control of pairs. But the pairs are math questions and answers. The quickest one to match the right answer to the question gets the pair. This is a great way to get kids comfortable with math. Geared for ages seven and up.
Games that you can play with your children that they can grasp and yet challenge you are rare. Its a lot more fun to play, though, when you feel stimulated by the contest too.
