INSTRUCTIONS

The Bible 123 program is a very user-friendly

of 3 may need to be guided by an adult.



	To start the program

At the Windows Program Manager screen, double-click
the Bible 123 icon in the Super Bible Kids group.
An introduction screen will come up to display 
several messages and music will be played in the
background.  The main program screen will then be 
displayed.

correct number of pictures corresponding to the 
selected number will be displayed on the screen.  
A realistic voice will say the number and the word

displayed, a portion of a Bible song will 
play.  The Bible song will be different for each 
time you select another number.

	
	To select another number

After the conclusion of the music, the child can
select another number by using the mouse or 
keyboard.  A new group of pictures and sound will
be displayed for the selected number.  

	
	To see information about the picture

An additional feature of the Bible 123 program
allows the child to click the pictures on
the screen to display written information about
the pictures.  (A text box will come up on the 
screen to briefly explain what the picture is.)
