BBC Teach Pop Culture Bible Stories

BBC Teach commissioned us to tell six animated, classic Bible Stories in a unique way that appeals to 7 - 11 year olds. Our take? To present each of them in pop culture formats: Samson as a Marvel movie; Moses and the Ten Commandments as if he were an influencer on a Youtube channel; The Feeding of the 5000 as if it's a TV cooking show competition; Pentecost as if the event was filmed on a smart phone and went viral; Esther and Mordecai as a melodramatic reality TV show; and Jesus Heals a Man with Leprosy as a make-over programme. 

Released as the country went into a third lockdown, we are proud to have created such a great learning tool for homeschooling. Each film is accompanied by notes and a lesson plan.

Nominated for Best Children's Programme at the Sandford St Martin Awards 2021.
