While watching videos is fun, it’s passive and lacks a feedback/confirmation element. We’ve been building games that present a fun challenge and increase learning. There are coloring pages, matching, memory, sequence, jigsaw and crossword puzzles, and hidden objects.
We still dream of going bigger. One idea is quizzes with questions presented in ASL and immediate feedback with an opportunity to review the information that holds the right answer. The question may be, “How many stones did David pick up?” If the answer returned is incorrect, that part of the story will be repeated in a short video. Another idea is a first-person adventure through the scriptures, where kids can wander through the garden of Eden, help Noah build the ark, march around Jericho, and help Rahab’s family when the walls fall down. That will take a lot more work, but wouldn’t it be great to see?? God’s faithfulness is big in these stories, and He’s still faithful to those who trust and follow Him today. That’s a lesson worth learning in every manner we can teach it.
