OVERVIEW:
Step into any Public School or Sunday School computer lab in
North America and you'll likely see Kid Pix.-- It's that
popular and versatile.
Here's why....
Kid Pix is a creative writing
and illustrating program that a wide age range of students can use to create content on
ANY SUBJECT.
Our Sunday School
customers get Kid Pix so that their kids can
create their own Bible content using Kid Pix's great
drawing tools, built-in clipart, animations and colorful
backgrounds, and Kid Pix's built in "text to speech" feature
which
allows the computer to speak aloud whatever the kids type
on their presentation. Teachers can bring in photos and graphics
for the kids to import and use in their presentations.
We have often called Kid Pix
"Power Point for Kids."
Your students can
select from a huge collection of ready-made scenery, animated graphics
and clipart, text options to assemble what we sometimes call "Talking
Bible Storybooks."
These storybooks can be one simple page, or SLIDESHOWS of many pages you create.
On each page you create you can type words or complete paragraphs for the computer to speak aloud.
Here are just a
few things you can do with Kid Pix in your Sunday School classroom:
- Students can
illustrate Bible scenes and situations, and create reflections,
prayers or poems, etc.
- Create characters
and put a talk balloon over their head then let Kid Pix read the
text aloud in a computer voice.
- Illustrate key
verses.
- Illustrate scenes
from a story, print them out, and play a "put the Bible scenes in
order" game.
- Teachers or teen
helpers can create a presentation to introduce ideas to the younger
kids.
- You can also import
your own graphics and photos and turn them into kid-powered
presentations!
Our free
Kid Pix Teaching Tips have many more project
ideas and tips.
KidPix also
has READY-MADE templates to create CARDS, POSTERS, STORYBOOKs,
reports, letters, etc. Your students will easily pick up how
to operate it.
Your kids will be familiar
with Kid Pix as previous versions of it have been in use in
public schools for MANY years.

The
neatest feature of Kid Pix is this:
whatever your kids type on the screen
Kid Pix can read out loud over their computer
speakers.
This "text-to-speech" feature is a
crowd pleaser.
It encourages students to creatively reflect, create dialog, and retell
stories. They create the illustration, add the text, then play it back
for each other. The teacher works with them to create good content, and
asks questions after their presentation. In one of my favorite Kid Pix
lessons, we study a Bible story, then ask them to rewrite and illustrate
a scene in their own words. Even young children enjoy having someone
help them type their story because they can't wait to hear it spoken by
the computer. Kid Pix gives you a choice of voices to hear the
text in.
They can create one page with text and
illustration, or several page and put them in a slideshow. Our free
Teaching Tips for Kid Pix give you lots of ideas. |

System Requirements:
WINDOWS
XP SP2 or Vista or Windows 7.
Minimum 800MHz processor or
faster, 256 MB RAM or higher recommended, 1 gb free hard disk
space for full installation. DVD enabled CD drive
required for installation. See note below
for the workaround if your have an older computer that
doesn't have a DVD enable CD-ROM drive. MAC
OS 10.2 and Higher, G3 processor or faster, 800 x 600
display, thousands of colors, Quicktime 7 or higher.
Note: There have been several "versions" of Edition 4.0. The
early versions of Edition 4 were not guaranteed compatible
with Vista, Windows 7, or OS 10.4 and higher. We carry only
the LATEST updated version of Kid Pix Edition 4.
Version Warning:
Not all Kid Pix
"4.0" versions are alike! Broderbund
has issued several versions of Edition 4. Not all "Fourth
Edition" versions of Kid Pix are fully Vista, Windows 7, or
OSX compatible, ...and some online vendors are carrying
these older 'remainder' versions. We carry ONLY the very
latest version with all the updates and tweaks for the
latest versions of Windows 7 --the 32 and 64 bit versions,
and OSX.
Version Note for
Public and Christian Schools:
You may be wondering, "What's
the difference between the 'School Version' available
through academic distributors, and Sunday Software's
version?"
Technically, we offer only the latest version of KP4, there
are several versions. The actual program content is the
SAME. Our "version" also has two other important
differences:
1)
Price!
Academic distributors tend to stick it to the schools.
See examples.
Our quantity pricing beats theirs coming and going.
2) The "School" version comes with a packet of handouts
and suggestions for academic projects (math, reading,
social studies) you can do with Kid Pix. But you can find
similar 'project' ideas for free by searching school sites
online.
Bottom line: If
you're a school you will save money by getting the
individual copies of Kid Pix from us
*Kid Pix 4 requires a
DVD-enabled CD drive.
The latest
version of Kid Pix
now ships on DVD disc rather than CD.
WORKAROUND: If your computers
do not have DVD enabled CD drives, you can copy the
Kid Pix CD to a USB flash drive (1gb or more) on a computer
that
does
have DVD enabled drives, and then insert the flash drive
(aka, "memory stick") into the computer where you want to
install Kid Pix and run the installation from the memory
stick.

VISITORS!
Welcome to our website....
We are
Sunday Software... the leading producer of software for
Sunday Schools. We've been recommending Kid Pix for
over a decade and always stock the latest version.
Kid Pix 4 does not have "Bible content" in
it. Rather, our church customers are ADAPTING the program for their
own uses, -having their kids create their own Bible scenes
and lesson content using the creative tools
and artwork in the program. Whatever they type, the program can speak out loud.
You can also import
photos and graphics into it.
Our version
works on XP, Vista, AND Windows 7, both 32bit and 64bit
versions. Warning:
Some online retailers are selling versions of Kid Pix
"4" that are NOT fully Windows 7 compatible.

The Slideshow screen is where kids assemble
their multiple pages/illustrations and play them back like a
slideshow.
There are controls which
allow users/teachers to change how the "slides" present
and read-aloud their text. Click the graphic below
to see the Slide Show controls up close.
Age Range: K - 7th
Even
non-readers can have fun with the text tools. In my lab, we help
young students create words for their pictures, and they love
to hear them read back aloud. The tools are simple enough for
young students, but the program is complex and fun enough even
for older students.
A free set of our Kid Pix Teaching Tips can be viewed and printed in PDF
format here.
Our Tips give numerous classroom tested suggestions for using
KidPix in your C.E. setting. We share many creative Bible-related
projects your students can work on together. And we have
IMPORTANT TIPS for TEACHERS on using the Kid Pix FEATURES.
We have quite a
history with creative writing and drawing tools. That experience
is poured into our Tips. Our Tips for Kid Pix also include
some navigational and special operational tips.
