Bible 456 - HELP.TXT

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for using the Bible 456 program.
This program is part of the Super Bible Kids 
Series software.  As with other Kidvision 
Software programs, the Bible 456 program 
is intended to educate young children about
numbers and the Bible through colorful pictures 
and music.  Kids are able to learn the Bible 
while having fun learning to use the 
computer, with the mouse and keyboard 
to play the games.  The selected songs are popular 
Bible songs which are fun and easy to learn.

INSTRUCTIONS

The Bible 456 program is a very user-friendly
program which requires minimal computer knowledge 
to play.  However, children under the age 
of 3 may need to be guided by an adult.



	To start the program

At the Windows Program Manager screen, double-click
the Bible 456 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.  If you are in the Super Bible Kids Main 
Menu screen, click the Bible 456 button to go to 
the program.



	To select the picture group to display

Using the mouse, click the picture group buttons
to select Biblical, Animals or Objects.  The child
can change the selection at any time during the
game by simply clicking the other buttons.


	To start the game

Using the mouse or keyboard, select the "Start Play" 
button.  A randomly selected number of pictures 
will be displayed on screen. A realistic voice will 
identify the content of the picture.  The name of 
the object/character in the picture will also appear 
in the text box.


	To match the correct number of pictures

A test label will be displayed at the conclusion
of the picture display requesting the child to pick
the number corresponding to the number of pictures 
on the screen.  Using the mouse or keyboard, the 
child selects the number.  If a correct match is
made, a "Yes" sound will come out together with a
note of congratulations.  Then a portion of a Bible 
song will be played in the background.  If an incorrect 
match is made, a trumpet sound will play, followed by
a note to ask the child to try again. 
	

	
	To see information about the picture

An additional feature of the Bible 456 program
allows the child to click the pictures on
