Christian Bible Heroes app review: learning made fun

Introduction

If you are looking for a way to introduce your child to the Bible is engaging and fun, the Christian Bible Heroes app can be a perfect solution. This educational app uses fast-paced action to draw kids in and teach them about the Bible and its "scriptural heroes." It really capitalizes on the notion that kids are so intrigued by super heroes and uses that interest to present the Bible in a fun manner. It might just be the best bible app for kids.

Educational Fun

The app provides kids with five educational games that will teach them all about the scriptural heroes and testimonies in the Bible. It was designed for young children and has a four years-plus rating, but really kids of all ages can have fun with it and learn from it. Even teenagers will be able to use this app with enjoyment. Part of helping kids to learn is presenting the material in a fun and easy-to-understand manner, which is what this app does.

It should be noted that because this is the free version of the app you are only getting a sample of what is included in the full version. The idea is to let you see what it is like to use and the features it offers so you can make the decision to purchase the full one. The full version is available for $2.99, which seems like a reasonable price.

Capturing the Attention of Kids

So how does this iPhone and iPad bible app manage to capture the attention of kids? By games of course! As mentioned, the app uses five different games and puts an educational spin on each one. There is Assemble the Puzzle, Memory, What goes with BLANK?, Which Pictures Match, and Match the Silhouette. As you can tell these are easy-to-understand games, which is why kids of all ages can use the app.

The best iPad apps for Easter

The app encourages learning by offering animated animal stickers, which are the rewards they get after they win a few games. There are voice recordings and sounds, fun graphics, and unlimited play so they don't ever feel pressure or have to stop before they want to.

What’s fun is that as kids work through the games, snippets of information and history is included in a non-obvious manner. This is a great way to give them lessons without it feeling like school or studying.

Final Thoughts

The Christian Bible Heroes app manages to take content that can tend to be a bit overwhelming for kids to grasp and presents it in a way they not only understand it but enjoy it. All of the games are easy to understand and follow and there are treasures of information throughout. I like that kids are rewarded with animated stickers to help motivate them.
