Sunday Software presents a Sunday School favorite...
Kid Pix Version 4.0!
 
Students write and illustrate their own "Talking Bible Storybooks"
Create talking slideshows and posters,
and more!

Note:

Kid Pix does not have "Bible content" already in it. Rather, kids CREATE their own scenes using the creative tools and artwork in the program. And whatever they type, the program can speak out loud.

Version Comparison:

Version 3 is now out of print. Many of our customers own it, and many published lesson plans reference it.

What's the difference between the versions? Version 3 and Version 4 are nearly identical. But version 4 has more XP and Vista compatibilities.

Kid Pix has been a staple in most Church computer labs ever since it came out.
It is so versatile for teaching Bible lessons that we have always recommended it as a "first purchase" for any new lab. Here's why....

Kid Pix is a creative writing and illustration program that can be used with ANY BIBLE LESSON and a wide age range.
You or your students create their own content using a big collection of clipart, animations and colorful backgrounds, plus a fabulous set of drawing tools designed for kids.

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 to assemble what we sometimes call "Talking Bible Storybooks."  "Talking" because Kid Pix can speak-aloud over the computer speakers whatever the kids type on the screen in their illustrations.

  • Students can recreate Bible scenes and situations
  • Create characters and put a talk balloon over their head then let Kid Pix 3 read the text in a computer voice
  • Illustrate key verses
  • Students or Teachers can create the presentation
  • You can also import your own graphics and photos and turn them into kid-powered presentations!

View our Kid Pix Teaching and Project Ideas to see how churches are using it in their lessons.

KidPix 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 kids type, the program can read out loud.

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.

Version Comparison:

Many published curriculums mention "Kid Pix 3." Version 3 and 4 are nearly identical, except in price and some technical tweaks. Version 4 is Vista compatible. Version 4's interface has all the same tools as 3, just a slightly different look and arrangement. And some of the artwork to select from has been changed from 3 to 4. (Both version 3 and 4 are WAY BEYOND the earlier version known as Kid Pix Studio Deluxe.) See version system requirements below.

Tip on working with Ready-made Project Template in Kid Pix
(a graphic showing you where to find them and suggesting some uses)

The Slideshow screen is where kids assemble their illustrations and play them back. There are controls which allow users/teachers to change how the "slides" present and read aloud their text. Click the graphic here at the right 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.
