Good Sam the Samaritan Software

 “Our God’s love, it is so very strong,  it leads me to see the need in you…” –from Sam TV’s music video “Lend a Helping Hand.”

Good Sam the Samaritan retells and digs into the parable of the Good Samaritan, — arguably Jesus’ most famous and most important teaching, and it does it in a fun and insightful way with animation, narration, quizzing, music and discussion videos.

Special Note!

After 24 years of pushing the Sunday Software nut uphill, I have stopped sales at this site, DONATED all my Bible software and games to www.rotation.org, and updated and posted all my software guides there as well. Rotation.org also has all my software lesson plans. Certain portions of sundaysoftware.com may no longer be available.

Learn more about our story (and closing). A HUGE thank you to those who have been with us on this wonderful journey.

Overview of What’s in Good Sam the Samaritan

Luke 10 –a narrated 3-D animated retelling of the story in three different versions with study notes.

Sam Cam –video interviews with the story characters, and a game in which students must counter excuses for “not being Samaritans” by selecting the right encouraging Bible verses (match the verse that addresses the excuse).

Good Sam Land –a very kid-friendly interactive map with intriguing story-related Holy Land photos and graphics and narrated study questions. The content includes “What is a Samaritan?” “Why weren’t they liked?” “Samaritans today” and questions about cultural and religious prejudice ( a really good section for older students especially)

Who Wants to be a Samari-tan! –play Yakzoot the camel in a strange parable gameshow about the Samaritan Parable. The gameshow concludes with a timed memory verse scramble game.

SaMtv –a music video that wraps up the lesson with a snappy tune and images to reflect on. SaMtv also includes follow-up discussion activities.
