While Adventist Record is aware that some parents may not want to give any screen time to their children, we also know that, for those who do, they’re looking for good, faith-filled content that can help teach children about Jesus.
The Rescue
A puppet-based show, and available on Hope Channel The Rescue deals with themes of the great controversy and the “greatest rescue of all time”, how Jesus rescues humanity. Produced in Australia by Abide Family Ministries, this Adventist show will educate and entertain your kids.
The Tuis
Produced right here in the South Pacific by Adventist Media, this Pacific Island family learn lessons together, with all the beats of regular Adventist life like Pathfinders in the background. For great animation and even discussion guides that can be downloaded, visit <thetuis.com.au>.
Animal Encounters
For kids who love learning about animals, this show has all the best animals while acknowledging God as the Creator. Available on Hope Channel online, look out for a new season based in the South Pacific that is coming soon!
VeggieTales
Some millennial parents grew up on this classic and now want to share it with their children. Fun and funny, these vegetables tell Bible stories and teach moral lessons. And the good thing for Adventists, no meat in sight.
The Chosen Adventures
From the makers of The Chosen, a popular TV show that follows the life of Jesus, these animated shorts follow the lives of nine-year-old Abby and her best friend Joshua in the ancient city of Capernaum, as they encounter Jesus and His teachings. Pitched at 6–12-year-olds but could be of interest to the whole family.
Listener kids
With almost 2 million subscribers on YouTube, this channel contains family favourite kids’ songs, with some that are both upbeat and also lullaby style for helping settle younger children. The cute animal animations and classic Christian children’s songs make this a favourite for kids.
Superbook
In this show, Superbook (some kind of Bible time machine) appears in the middle of the lives of school children Chris and Joy and their robot friend Gizmo, and whisks them back in time to witness a Bible story happening, teaching them lessons that they can use when they return to their modern lives. Note that some scenes might be scary for young children.
Goodnews Guys
This fun-loving duo perform Wiggles-style, with coloured T-shirts and a monkey puppet friend Harry that makes a cameo from time to time. They sing many kids’ favourite Bible songs and can be found on YouTube.
Slugs and bugs
Musician Randall Goodgame is joined by puppet favourites Doug the Slug and Sparky the Lightning Bug, in this fun and quirky music-filled show from a producer of VeggieTales.
King’s Kids
Another puppet-based show, produced for Hope Channel in Australia by Abide Family Ministries. With plenty of songs and beloved characters like Arnie and Postman PJ, this show has loads of life lessons, laughter and fun along the way.
