As well as checking out traditional forms of kids entertinament like the boo boo song for kids, Kids Bible Adventures, the first ever 3D interactive Bible-based Virtual World for kids aged 5 – 10 has just recently launched its campaign on the global crowd-funding platform, Indiegogo.com.
Ian Jones, a fellow member of the Association of Virtual Worlds, is the visionary behind this values-based and safe destination for children.
You can help by sharing this exciting news with all your own networks and also by making a contribution of as little as $5, to bring this new virtual world to life!
What will the Virtual World do?
Kids Bible Adventures will be like a digital playground for your kids set in the Bible world.
Your kids will go on a series of missions in the virtual world to help Bible Heroes. These missions will be set in the Old and New Testaments as we want kids to understand the whole great story of the Bible.
When they successfully complete each mission kids gain a spiritual value, such as Love, Respect, Forgiveness, Gratitude and so on. Their goal is to collect all the spiritual values across the whole Bible and all the other exciting rewards that they can gain on their journey. There will be lots of other activities also. For example kids can gift values and Angels to friends and family in the spirit of Christian giving. Each completed activity helps kids to understand their role in the Great Commission.
Kids Bible Adventures will allow kids to to show you what they have achieved by posting to your Facebook or phone app, which will be linked back into the Virtual World.
The Virtual World will be constantly updated with new challenges and adventures to keep kids interested and involved.
This gives me an idea, though: you could have a “Tease the patriarch / Escape the ravenous bears” game module! I can see it now, kids with a joystick, running through a maze, dodging bear claws and the flying body parts of other, less successful, children….
The moral of that game: You don’t always have to outrun the bear. Sometimes all you have to do is outrun the other guy the bear is chasing.
