Auto Be Good Series

Publisher Description: The Emmy Award winning animated series from the City of Auto takes the high road as our cars head out on adventures of life. Following their owner's manual, the Bible, these friends are ready to handle potholes and mishaps. Stories filled with more fun per gallon to keep your family captivated. So hop in and enjoy the ride! Recommended ages 2+ (I'd say 3-7).

If you have little boys they will love these. All the characters are cars (vehicles), great computer animation. Now, these are not bible stories, but I have recommended them when there isn't an appropriate video and the story values connects.

Each video is 60 minutes long and is made up of 6 stories - 10 minutes each. So you can also tie them in with a video of the bible story that may only be 5 to 10 mins. long - find the corresponding value associated with that story.

On The Road Again, by Wet Cement , 2004, 0680943750042.
Values: Obedience, self-control, politeness, truthfulness, honesty and kindness.

Where The Rubber Meets The Road, 0698368119290
Values: Tolerance, consideration, uniqueness, patriotism, citizenship, and loyalty.

Hitting the Road, 0680943750035.
Values: Punctuality, promptness, readiness, responsibility, respectfulness, and dependability.

Taking the High Road (40 mins), 0680943750059.
Values: Morality (Cheating), Dignity, Integrity. Also includes a 3 lesson bible study guide from the "Operators Manual".

To order and also see a full description of each check out Christianbook.com

I recommended one of these to a church and got a call later to tell me the kids loved the video, the message was wonderful and they were captivated from start to finish.

Love to Teach

A favorite of mine: Kingsley's Meadow

www.kingsleysmeadow.org

" ... presents a unique opportunity to expose children, pre-school and older, to the Bible and help them to understand how God's Word is relevant to their lives. The Bible stories are brought to life through re-enactment by real kids" ... and puppets and songs.

"The narrator is Kingsley, a master storyteller (a lifesize lion "puppet") who tells his friends the stories his father told him as a child. The stories are from the Bible, and teach the importance of having good character qualities."

One of Kingsley's friends have a "problem" or "situation" and Kingsley uses the stories from Bible characters' lives to help them understand God's way to respond.

Each video is approximately 30 minutes long and consists of two 15 episodes:

HANG IN THERE!
Kingsley encourages goodness and perseverance through 2 separate stories: Ruth and Elisha.

WISE GUY.
The importance of attentiveness and self-control through the stories of Solomon and Naaman.

MUNCH, MUNCH, WHERE'S MY LUNCH?
Lessons about thankfulness and patience, through the stories of Hannah and Moses.

FUNNY MONEY
The benefits of contentment and obedience. Daniel and Jonah's lives.

1-2-3 COUNT ON ME
The importance of Forgiveness and Responsibility. Joseph and Abraham.

You can purchase at Amazon, Christian Book Distributors, Family Christian Stores, etc.

"GraceLink" an international Sunday School ministry, has produced over a hundred short animated video Bible stories for Preschoolers through Grade 3. They are available for FREE on YouTube. Ecumenical content.

See their entire menu at: https://www.youtube.com/user/S...st&live_view=500

This one is pretty representative of all their videos. Some are more animated and longer than others.

They all have age-appropriate language, concepts and questions.
